Typical American went to France/Nice for a week. It is astonishing how many more small cars can fit and move around roads than a bunch of SUVs.

The "personal space" of an SUV is gigantic, while driving around in small cars you have a vastly better sense of the road and people around you. If everyone is driving cars, your visibility of the road and traffic is far better because you can see through the windshields of cars in front of you.

AND THOSE GODDAMN HEADLIGHTS.

When the human race was first getting mainstream education on global warming in the late 1990s, the United States of America collectively decided to basically double the weight of its vehicles, and squander engineering wonders that vastly increased the fuel economy of vehicles.

If the demand and desire for these is really so great, slap a $10,000 surcharge + $1,000/year fee on their ownership and redirect all of it to BEVs and alt energy.

They should also slap a $9000 surcharge on small cars because I'm sure the owners would want to make a contribution to help stop climate change.

... and here we are, people, the American SUV mindset wide open for all to see!

See the incredible myopic vision! The complete lack of tone awareness! An utter lack of sense of their surroundings!

All in one comment!

And the best thing: That's exactly how SUVs are driven! It's such a sublime comment.

I'm not American nor do I drive American SUVs.
