Safest Suv 2007 Vehicle
SUV/TRUCKS, and the great falacy of being “safe”?
Reflexes of an elephant, breaking distances of a 1960′s car, handles like a drunk walking a narrow corridor, MPG that keep us slaves to the pump, and that perception of being “safe”, as if healthy LOOKING hair is actually healthy hair.

Another prime example of this falacy brought on by the media to induce fear in the public, that you will not be safe unless you have a vehicle the size of Montana.
People sue the auto companies when ABS first came out…they didn’t expect even to get in a crash, or Cruise Control which was mistaken for “auto-pilot”. Now we have whole new generation of safe drivers…on the cell-phone, fading in and out of traffic like a drunk.
Two points of personal nature on your so called Falacy of safety and SUV’s. When my kids were very small and my wife of 5’3″ carried them around, we bought a Suburban..now with over 275,000 miles and can get 18 MPG on the highway. Back to the Real Truth..in 1990 a drunk in one of those import econo boxes, crossed the median and hit my ENTIRE family head on. I was not with them.They were not hurt or shook up AT all. The drunk, a four time loser, almost lost his life, destroyed his car, put him in the hospital for three weeks and then I pressed charges and he got two years in jail.
Later my now,older son lost control at the MEASURED speed limit and hit a brick wall at 50 MPH. He and his buddy survived in a Cherokee.
You drive what you think if best, that is your right, but do not try to tell me or others what is safe or not. I have been there personally.
