Thanks beanoil, I wrote what I wrote off-line and didn't see your post before I submitted mine.
Expanding on this point, and putting together a few points that others have already said:quote:

Korean Redneck, by the start of your post, I thought you were driving that interstate in good weather. [Big Grin] I would have passed you too. [Razz]
That is a dilusion. From all the info I've seen, SUV's as a group have a higher death rate per 1000 accidents than cars, mini vans, pickups, etc.. If they were safer, it would be logical to assume the death rates for SUV's would be lower. The accident data clearly doesn't support the statement that SUV's are safer. You can choose to drive a SUV for many reasons, but to drive a safer vehicle can't be one of them.quote:
