Why do SUV's Suck?

I don't really know if it's the attitude of the drivers or the SUV's themselves. Could it just be a general loss of common courtesy of the average citizen in America? I'm really at a loss to explain the general disregard a large number of SUV driver's have for the other driver's on the hiways and byways of America as well as a general disregard for the rules and laws of the road.

Common courtesy has gone by the wayside when someone sits behind the wheel of an SUV. I can't count the number of times I have been in a left turn lane at the clearly marked stop line when a SUV pulls up on the right and stops 3 feet further into the intersection completely blocking my view of oncoming traffic to the right. Most SUV's have a clear shot over my roof of traffic on the left, why do they insist on blocking my view to the right?

It seems there is a direct coorelation between size and bullying on the roadway. The larger the SUV the quicker to take the right of way whether they legally have the right or not. Kind of like a big bully on the playground, he get's what he wants until someone bigger comes along who takes it from him. SUV's have a bad habit of going first at a four way stop, when they clearly arrived last and are not the first vehicle on the right.

Then there is the confusion most SUV drivers have with the size of their vehicle. They tend to conduct lane changes like they are driving a sub-compact or sports car when they are in fact driving a Suburban or Excursion! They think nothing of parking on or over the white line of marked parking spaces in parking lots making everyone else search further out for a space.

I'm not even going to get into the issue of low fuel economy, high centers of gravity or any of the other many ecological or safety issues of SUV's. Suffice it to say there is no love lost between me and SUV drivers.

Don't get me wrong, my family car is a 1994 Crown Victoria, I do drive a large car, but I do think about the guy in the left turn lane, I do know that when he goes, I can safely turn right. I am very careful to be centered in my parking spaces and it doesn't bother me to walk a little further to avoid parking in a tight space.

In my own defense I have been considering a Suburban or Excursion, better yet, I think I'll start looking at F-250's or 350's with King cabs and extended beds. A dual tire job might just be the ticket, heh maybe that's what I need to do.
