It was Ancient Mariner who claimed that " He's had a nasty shock, he's dealing with this by talking about it in a place where he was hoping for a little support." (from post #2) I didn't think that was the case, but thanks for clarifying.
I've no beef about SUV per se, I've consistently said that they make sensible choice in some cases, I do think people should be in possession of the facts when choosing. I've clearly said that I would consider buying one. Why pointing out their failings gives me a "chip on my shoulder" I'm not sure
Well, I have done but it is understandable that you may not have missed that reply. I drive a big estate, with a towing capacity 50% up on the CRV and roughly the same as a big Kia Sportage for to tow a caravan, its nickname is the Grandpawagon.
here's the post you missed.
I'm not picking on anything, this horse has bolted and the proportion of SUV on the road is not going to change any time soon. My expectation was that the introduction to the underlying issues to SUV would come as a surprise to most readers here, that the initial reaction would be disbelief, followed by investigation and the realisation that actually what I have highlighted is based on hard facts. Given that the only rebuttals seem to have been personal attacks and claims without backup that it's all rubbish, that intention may well have succeeded.
As to the reason I'm not discussing the risks of LGV, as yet they are not much used for personal transport or to pick up the kiddies on the school run, but maybe that's only a matter of time. I certainly believe that they need regulation, a lot of that falls into the category of protecting people from their own stupidity (eg positioning themselves in the drivers blind spot) but equally there's a general expectation that LGV drivers have a responsibility commensurate with the risk posed. As a sweeping generalisation (which does have holes admittedly), that is not the case with private vehicles. What I mean by that is there is nothing to stop an individual buying and using a vehicle with performance way beyond their capabilities. Yes, they will be breaking the law to go 155 mph+ but laws don't do much to control those who flout them, witness the number still using their mobile phones behind the wheel, despite it being illegal and despite it being more dangerous than drink driving. That's another reason why your suggestion of a law to curb pedestrian behaviour isn't viable (even if you were being serious, i suspect you were just grumbling)
Is that in depth enough?
In August 2020 I looked for a newer car as I was getting issues with my back getting in & out of the Focus! A Ford Kuga was suggested as well as the Skoda Yeti, I settled on the Kuga
