There is no proper adjustment for lights 5 feet off the ground. They are literally above the rear window of the SUV; no amount of leveling fixes that. 

I hate when people say “I need a big car to be safe”

This reminds me of my mom’s experience in getting her driver’s license.

Stand your ground clearance.

When you’re in a crash with another vehicle, you want to be in the heaviest and tallest one of the two.

It’s shocking, really. You can buy a 6000-lb work truck from a dealer and drive it on a standard license. You can buy an 800 hp muscle car from a dealer for less than $100,000 and drive it on a standard license. You can rent a trailer for forty bucks and tow it on a standard license. A license that you maybe got 20…

Agreed. Your default license should put you in a small, lower-powered car (which does not preclude the possibility of it being a fun car, just small and not very fast). Bigger and/or more powerful than that, and you better prove you actually know how to drive.

I hate those idiots so much. They will slap a kinds of LED lights on their trucks, which would be great for the woods or mountains at night, and go down a public road with them all on blinding you. I just want to hit them with paint or a super tiny EMP (if that was possible). Better would be the cops pulling them over…

It’s beyond high time we had more non-commercial license classes. How can one test at 16 years old enable a 40-year-old to drive a Geo Metro or a McLaren P1 or a F-350? It doesn’t make sense. Vehicles that are more dangerous for others on the road, like SUVs, should require special licensing.

While it appears many OTR Tractor makers put their head lamps and bumpers closer to the road than ever, the more aggressive pick up owners are aiming them both at the heads of as many other drivers as they can. Even in the moderate sized SUV I have the number of times the headlamps of pick up trucks are above the rear…

But not in pickup trucks. Those are still 159 percent more likely to kill you if they hit you, pretty much unchanged from 1989-1992 when they were 158 percent more likely to kill other drivers.

Top Gear already invented it.

Jesus Christ died so we could have our SUVs.

I have never looked it up to confirm, but I’ve been told that a lot of these are illegal (depending on the state), but like motorcycle exhaust noise, it is almost never enforced.

In GA it is not. I recently posted in a local group asking why the Police doesn't enforce it... Boy did I get flamed for it. But then I don't really care what people thinks.

If SUVs are outlawed, then only outlaws will have SUVs.

For the life of me, I still don’t understand why lifted bro trucks are still street-legal. California is cracking down on all sorts of stuff (noise, emissions, a harmless check engine light, illegally imported small cars that bother absolutely no one, etc). Hell, even my E-85 converted Saab is technically illegal…

Potholes have even less effect on lightweight cars with decent rubber sidewalls. 

SUVs are 28 % more likely to cause depression in car enthusiasts than a smaller fun car like the Miata.

Clearly donking all our small cars to make them taller is the only solution.
