Comment on Safety and space at risk as SUVs reach 30% of car market in English cities, researchers warn

I grew up around big vehicles in the countryside. They were small compared to the nonsense I regularly see on our roads today.
I'm baffled as to the appeal of these monstrosities. They're a pain in the hole to park, to drive, to maintain, and to fuel.
This goes double for those idiotic pickups that also have space for 5+ people in the cab. Unless you're transporting a work detail between building sites there is no way you need something like that.
It's bad enough that I have to have a car for where I live. Having one that's also a huge money pit and wildly impractical just takes the piss.
At least get something fun if you want to burn some money! Let's see some hotrods!
