I read the article of "SUV Debate" from the CQ Researcher, and read both the pro and the con. I did not like the argument from the pro section. The con was not completely consistant on the subject, but I would have to agree a little more on it. I think that an SUV can be a useful and safe vehicle to drive, depending on the circumstances. For instance; it depends on a drivers caution and safety regulations on the road. You can't control your surroundings, but you can control the way you drive.
I don't think it's appropriate to argue about the safety regulations of an SUV in oppose to a small car, they are both roughly the same. And yes, it does pose dangers, but then trucks, buses, and other lage commercial vehicles would also be considered dangerous. Now adays all vehicles are built more secure and may have slight disfunctions. But overall im all for driver safety, and SUV's aren't vehicles that pose all the dangers on the road.
And SUV's are very useful for some people. Im not trying to say that SUV's are the best vehicles on the road, simply that we cannot blame SUV's for being dangerous. We all have the right intentions, but we can't blame something for being made the way it is. Like we cant blame motorcycles or trucks for being built the way they are. We should learn how to be more careful on the road.
Exactly Omar we all need to be more careful when driving.
ReplyDeleteI agree that we should learn how to be more careful on the road.
ReplyDeleteOne thing the CQ Reseacher didn't mention is that SUVs are the main choice for families. It failed to mention it as a family car, not only as a big dangerous tank on the road.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on that. It's like they say, "Guns are not killers, people who shoot them are." .... I think that's how it goes.
ReplyDeleteHummmm....I am still not sure what I think about this. Thanks for giving me more to think about.
