They must be sending them this way then. I am forever surrounded by vehicles too large for city use, driven by people who can barely handle them. Just the other week I witnessed a woman backing her Suburban into a handicap (she had no handi-tag or mirror tag) space and she back into, broke, and knocked over the handicap sign post behind her on the sidewalk. She then proceeded to pull forward and into another space so people didnt think she did it. All that because she couldnt park 3 spaces down just to walk into Starbucks to get a coffee. I reported her to a cop that came to Starbucks about 15 minutes later and he wrote her up for destruction of property, haha.
No more than 3-4 days later, a large woman in another oversized SUV pulled into a parking lot I was in an hit the older model Lexus in the space beside her with her bumper as she pulled in. She didnt even know it. She did her shopping and left before the owner of the Lexus came out so I wrote her tag # down and gave it to the owner of the Lexus. How so grateful the woman who owned the Lexus was. She called a cop right there and then and used me as witness. I was glad to comply.
Basically, I WISH these huge cars would go away because of the morons that drive them. I used to have a CDL and I know just how aware you have to always be operating a large vehicle. These people in these oversized SUVs take their size for granted. I can only speak for my area and my experiences of course, but 3 out of 5 vehicles here is something monsterous.
