I don't object to SUV's. I object to large commercial truck sized vehicles not having to obey large
commercial sized truck driving regulations. Put them in the slow lane at 55 mph and they're fine.
Instead we see them in the fast lane doing 100 mph and swerving from lane to lane while all of the
cops look the other way. You'd think that politicians wouldn't be so concerned about the auto
industry but there it is.
