In reply to the discussion: Why do people drive SUVs? [View all]primavera
(5,191 posts)I've tried to bend over backwards throughout this thread to thank people for their input and respect their vehicle choices. I do not assume that everyone who drives a SUV does so to make a statement. The only assumption I made was that some - please note, not all - people who drive SUVs don't really need the bigger vehicles. I asked because I wanted to better understand what attracts people to them and I'm grateful for the responses that my fellow DUers have been willing to share.
I do part ways with you that having the money to do a thing automatically confers upon one the right to do that thing. People can and do make selfish and irresponsible decisions that adversely affect others and I do not believe that such decisions are beyond reproach on the grounds of freedom of choice or having the money to do them.
