Comment on Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier
Darkmoon_UK@lemm.ee 1 week agoI’ll never understand people that drive these entirely unnecessary abominations. Energy efficiency should be the motivation: which generally indicates smaller vehicles for most tasks. Most local, individual journeys should be made by eScooter these days, and a saloon car is already the best format for mid range family trips. SUVs are mostly a sign of sociopathic tendencies - a manifestation of the drivers need to be feel bigger, heavier, stronger than the next person. If you live in the country, fine, the rugged format makes sense. Drive one exclusively in the suburbs to pick your shopping up? The choice says something about you.
