Hi Buses7675

I completely agree. I am not sure what it is like in other areas but here on the wirral there are plenty of cases where owners of suv's ( land rover, bmw, audi etc ) who drive them in such a way that it is intimidating to other road users.

I myself have had suv's, 4x4s right on my tail that if I had to brake hard for any reason my car would be completely destroyed although this would probably be a subject for the general discussion section.

The main issue I have noticed over the last 12 months of driving is that many suv & 4x4 owners have great difficulty parking them, they are either parked over 2 spaces in a car park or generally parked as if abandoned because owners don't take the time to get the feel of the vehicle ( how it drives, brakes etc ) but also they don't take the time to just try a basic parking maneuver just to see if they are making the right decision to own such a vehicle.

I believe there is a course somewhere in the uk where potential suv and 4x4 owners can go and try out driving these types of vehicles to see if they are suited to them or not. Instructors accompany the potential owners and put them through a range of exercises and give a complete summary of performance ar the end of the course.

My apologies for the long post.
