How about this woman who ran down 3 kids?

How about the consistency of SUV's who get so close to me on the highway that I can only see their grille?



My question was, what specific evidence do we see here that this is a 'SUV superiority syndrome'?

An isolated incident here and there that happens to make a sensational news story with "SUV" in the headline isn't sufficient evidence to automatically presume this woman's state of mind.

Your personal experience with being tailgated by SUV's is only as valid as mine, where I find that the overwhelming majority of agressive drivers I encounter are behind the wheels of everyday sedans and sport coupes. To me, the occasionally rude and dangerous agressive SUV driver is more noticeable because he's bigger -- but he is by no means typical of most SUV drivers that I come across.
