SUV's and winter driving-

[Marc]

How about a little pot stirring today:

Driving back from VT last night, 91 froze into a skating rink between 93 and approximately exit 3. Also hit a couple very heavy snow squalls and big winds.

We drove by 10 single vehicle MVA's... 6 were SUV's and another 1 was a pickup. And another was a VW van.

Q: Are there any conclusions to be drawn from this or was it coincidence? List your reasons (preferably in a coherent manner) with your opinion.

Because everyone that drives an SUV is an idiot?

[Marc]

Addendum: vehicle traffic was roughly 65-75% car, 20-30% SUV/truck and 5% truck/trailer from a couple of counts I did sitting in traffic.

One conclusion I've drawn is that I don't know what "MVA" stands for.

I didn't see any reasons accompanying this opinion?

It was made tongue in cheek. I own two SUVs.

Oh, thanks.

A second conclusion I've drawn is that you're a rubbernecker.

So then is your answer that, no, there are no conclusions to be drawn from my experience?

Well, I guess your point is that an SUV instills false confidence in its driver. Gee, thanks Captain Obvious...
