SUV's - cities, public spaces and regulation

Suspect some of it comes down to competing for space on busy roads.

Meaning the opportunity to intimidate the other motorist as you come barreling towards them on a road that's too narrow to fit two vehicles side by side

And the ability to load your spawn in to your street parked motor without breaking your back.

And be damned with the consequences for other people's spawn who you can't see over the front of your bonnet...
