It's pretty simple really. Adjust driving to the conditions. Adjust the time for travel. Take every precaution vis a vis idiots. Don't accomodate idiots either. If they tailgate you slow down dramatically. Then at the next intersection just crawl out as slow as possible. Cheeze them off at every opportunity--it's part of your public education responsibility.

Spectacular wordsmithing!!
And as for your point, I couldn't agree more!! But not just SUVs, also work trucks. Like the big diesels that the rig pigs drive around with nary a tool in them. Even worse are Hummers. I just saw, quite possibly, the lamest Hummer ever. It was fricken purple with chrome all over it. Chrome handles, chrome latches (so, you know, you can pick it up with a helicopter), chrome covers on the tail lights... Seriously, who does that?
