SUV drivers can’t even keep on their damn lanes. Particularly on bends with no lane markings.
If you have that poor spatial awareness perhaps don’t buy a massive eyesore. Plus you can’t see over or around them to see other traffic so they make it more dangerous for other drivers as we have less data to go on.
My parents got a contemporary Highlander and I hate every minute of driving it. There's zero visibility out of it, the "lane assist" shit hates curves in the roads, and it feels like I'm in a giant-but-claustrophobic spaceship with all these fucking computer systems that can't be turned off. Spatial awareness is fucking hard when you can't see a goddamned thing out most of the windows, and entire cars regularly disappear behind the A-pillar.
