Dear SUV driver: Not to put too fine a point on it, but you are a FARKING DICKWEED MORON.
There was perhaps two or three inches of snow on the roads last night, most of it reduced to easily handled slush by the traffic.
But you, with your oversize SUV are the one who spun out on the sole road leading into my neighborhood. You created a backup about a mile and a half long and kept people there for more than an hour.
If you insist on owning an SUV, then WHEN THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE IT?
An SUV does not mean you are nailed to the ground with super-traction. The high center of gravity does not allow you to drive it like a sports car. The higher weight of an SUV gives you absolutely shitty stopping distances. If there is one vehicle that ought to be going slower in such road conditions IT IS AN SUV.
Maybe when you climb into your personal tank, you feel all that metal around you and extra weight under you, and you think you’re safe. So you drive like boy racer and then you are surprised that you can’t stop or maneuver in time. Sad thing is that often a lot of other people have to pay for your stupidity.
Where’s my checkbook? I don’t like most radical politics, but I think I’m going to endow a local chapter of the Earth Liberation Front – provided they make you their first mission.
Damn, I thought it was a joke that you could set your watch by these
rants.
Here’s a question - did you see the accident happen? Were they actually driving recklessly or are you assuming that to be the case because its an SUV? Would your rant exist if somebody flipped a Miata?
Is this right? I thought stopping distance wasn’t related to weight, because the higher momentum you need is cancelled out by the higher gravitational pull that…hmm.
Well, anyway, I don’t want to get in the way of a good SUV rant. I hate 'em.
Should tell you something about the prevelance of ignorant pigfuckers driving SUVs.
Scene of the accident. Only one vehicle. An SUV. Perhaps Mulder and Scully should be called in to unravel how this really was a plot by UFOs to discredit SUV drivers.
:rolleyes:
A reckless SUV driver? Oh that’s a stretch, I know.
In a two-hour trip home, I saw two vehicles stuck. One was a larger car. The other an SUV. Didn’t see any Miatas stuck.
Just an asshole with an SUV.
Dear Schmucky: not to unduly interrupt your blithering flow of bile, but the annals of traffic accidents include many cases where some moron strays into the lane of another car, cuts another driver off etc. and then exits the scene, causing the other driver to spin out/crash. Or maybe the SUV driver in your neighborhood had to make an emergency stop to avoid a deer. Or a child.
Maybe you could stick to making viable points based on actual evidence, you ruptured sack of putrefying pustulence.
I love the fact that this person is a “FARKING DICKWEED MORON” because they did this in an SUV, not because they did this at all. Naturally it’s the fact they own an SUV that makes them a dickweed moron, and not the fact that they were driving like an idiot.
We got about 8 inches of snow in my area a couple days ago and I saw three or four cars who were spinning their tires at stoplights and such on my way to work. None were in SUV’s. So I guess I should follow the OP’s logic and conclude that that they were all asswipes specifically because they were driving sedans, not because they didn’t know how to drive in the snow and ice. Bastards in family cars anyway!
I’m not even going to argue this further, Pucky, because you answered all my questions (and prayers for this thread incidentally).
Try not to get mauled on the way home by one o’ those durn sneaky SUV’s.
Okay, you’re right. I apologize. Based on widespread observation of SUV drivers, this one had doubtlessly stopped to safeguard a group of baby ducklings attempting to cross the road, while handing out literature on protecting the manatees from speedboats.
BTW, are all those widdle bitty, mean old cars picking on yousum, hmm? We have crack down on all those folks causing you to crash your overweight, tip-heavy SUVs.
Viable: Having real meaning, pertinence, etc.
On the premise of many SUV drivers being fuckwits, your post makes the premise emminently viable.
So you SUV supporters are trying to say that a single vehicle accident is probably not due to reckless and/or careless driving? If it isn’t then what the hell is your definition of “reckless driving”. And remind me not to be on the road when you’re out.
I too have seen the “Snow means nothing to me, for I am in an SUV!”[sub]insert maniacal laughter here[/sub] attitude. In fact I’ve even felt it myself when last driving a Blazer in a blizzard (That kinda rolls off the tongue don’t you agree). I think that far too many SUV drivers fail to realize that 4x4 does not mean that road conditions do not apply to you.
But my real gripe are the semi-trucks that drive by going 70 splashing me out of my lane with that mushy salty snow, in a snow storm!
