I think a lot of the former bravado (?) of the former 5 star safety rated Volvos, is now being exhibited by the bigger SUV's, Hummers etc. In spite of what the APA & others say about the limitations of SUV's on ice,& snow the drivers still feel invulnerable, & take some rediculous chances.

I now look at vehicle purchases like the Arms Race. My Ins. Co. charges me more because I drive a small car & am more likely to be killed in a collision with an SUV. The same company charges the SUV driver more, cuz they are more likely to kill somebody in a smaller vehicle. Once again the Ins. Co's make out like bandits.

The bigger, heavier the gas guzzler, the safer your family is, (in theory) so you could purchase with the idea that "If anybody is going to die in a collision, it will be that other family, not mine."
That of course begets bigger & bigger vehicles/guided missles.

(I'm still trying to figure out why the province thinks that something the size of a small bus is a 'car'?? in terms of license fees.)
