Once the SUV drivers are cleared out from in front of the wall, it will be the rollerblader's turn. Well, the rollerbladers that are incapable of moving in a straight line. More people than just rollerbladers use sidewalks. Thus, when rollerbladers do that stupid side to side angled acceleration thing which takes up the whole goddamn sidewalk it makes it impossible for decent, footbound sidewalk users or even partially decent bikebound sidewalk users to get where they're going or to pass them (how they manage to go so slow on wheels is beyond me) or avoid getting run down by them or whatnot.
After them, its the motorized scooter folks. What a bunch of yabos.

Yeah!!!!
I hate those bastards!!!
U know,in Estonia,u don't need a drivers licence to be able to drive a 50ccm motorized scooter on the streets!
So,these bastards can actually turn on their vehicle,they can also turn it any way they desire,while its already running.But what they don't know is when to turn where!
These bastards have no idea of any laws that they have to follow driving on the streets!In the summer,while most of them go around,they cause a lot of accidents and annoy drivers all around the country.Well,u'd need a bicycle licence to drive one of those,but the dumbass police don't check these anyway,so anytime u desire,u can just rent one of those and annoy decent drivers!Well,I'm too young to drive,but I already hate those bastards!

Jeez you complain about bad parking Cat? you wanna go to Athens, they don't have carparks much, so literally everyone parks anywhere and everywhere they feel like 
Other than that I do hate SUV's and their english equivalents, why something designed to hold 8 people has someone transporting usually no more than 2 people is a total joke....

Ugh... I don't have a big thing against SUVs yet, but 4 wheel drives... Here in Auckland, New Zealand there are plenty of 4X4s and of course the wildest offroad adventure they ever go to is the speed bumps in a supermarket.
Those 10+ year old unserviced diesel pieces of ... offroad metal. Go behing one uphil and you'd better seal off every vent possible.
New Zealand is a green country, the national image. And it doesn't have a single frikin law against a vehicle with clouds of smoke coming out of its exhaust pipe!
Mostly women are driving their 4X4's during the day while the husband who bought this thing because its safe is at work. Check any statistics, and 4X4s are actually less safe, and far more likely to flip over. Also a sense of security numbs people to danger.
And then the holdens. The symbol of male libido and the much needed 250KW of power, and the looks of not even "I'm better than you", not even "I'll squash you like a bug", but "You'd better not exist in the first place".
Oh! Wait! More! The Mazda RX7! With an exhaust pipe leaving even the owner feel like a boy when he drives it. I wouldn't mind them at all if my neighbour didn't have one. Warming it up in the morning can be heard in adjacent houses. And his insecurity causes him to turn the freakin alarm on when he goes inside, and turn it off again when he comes out thirty seconds later, repeated several times within a few muinutes. He probably comes out to check if he turned on the alarm.
I am a mileage man myself with a nice looking 1.3 Mitsi Mirage coupe that somehow manages to keep up with 2 litre cars until 40kph.

For The Record
Bort, for the record, I and my wife have only one car between us and three children. We have a 4-door 1997 dark green Toyota Corolla. So, I guess that qualifies me as an ally in the war against SUV's. It's a good car and has good gas mileage.

I can't believe I've got something in common with Consis
Yep, '91 Corrolla here...burgundy.
Interesting that this one got revived. I was talking with my wife and her dream vehicle is a Lincoln Aviator.
Mine just happens to be a Mini.
I'm thinking I'll be able to stow the Mini in the back for our weekend trips.

Decoded Message Following....
This was sent to me from a paid informant. The whereabouts, status, and mental state are of unknown origins but I think the tip is credible at best.
We've recently received a reliable communicae from one of our agents operating in the field under a classified alias.(to verify field agent's name  please use proper security clearance in return) This phone conversation recording was acquired through a secure wiretap. It must be sent to the office of the senior chairman(h.p.i.c.)of suv opponents of america(and international)immediately!
Quote:
man: Hi, I was wondering if everything was ok being as we're neighbors and all. I noticed the window to the sliding door on the right side of your van is missing.
woman: Oh that? Yeah, as you know I'm in the process of moving in right now. As I was loading some of my furniture into the van I made a mistake and misjudged the carrying capacity. I put a large wooden dresser on the middle seating and tried to shut the sliding door. When I did, the top of the dresser collided with the window in the door and pushed it out on to the ground shattering the window. Don't worry though, no one was hurt. It scratched my paint a little but I don't care anyway.
man: You don't care that your paint was scratched?
woman: Nah, I hate my van. I told my boyfriend not to buy me another van but he wouldn't listen and bought me this one anyway.
man: You had a different van before this one?
woman: Yes, but I ran that thing to the ground. It couldn't handle my highspeed russian roulette chases.
man: You're what? Are you saying that you drive fast?
woman: You better believe it. Some people challenge me at the stoplight too.
man: But I don't understand, don't you have four kids? Were they in the car when you were driving like that?
woman: Which time? Look, don't worry I don't drive like that all the time but sometimes people really piss me off when I drive. Serves them right if I leave a trail of dust for them to choke on. I tell my kids to strap the seatbelts tight and we smoke those turkeys.
man: What? You're kidding right? Aren't you a little old to to do all that?
woman: That's probably what he thought! Ha, it must've felt great when he saw me pass him on the freeway. What a loser.
man: Hmm, so what's all this have to do with your hating vans?
woman: I've been wanting a tahoe for a while now, oh forget that, any suburban will do. If SUV are on the tags then I'll take it.
man: But what about your kids? If you sell the van then what about them? You have a lot of kids and vans are great for driving them around!
woman: Bah, are you kidding? I'll sell you this van if you want it. You have three kids right?
man: Yes, that's right. I would enjoy a van. The toyota corolla is a bit small with three children. That would be very helpful.
woman: Well as long as I get what I owe out of it then it's yours. And besides, once I get the suburban, I could probably throw the van in the back and drive it over to yah! Ha!
man: Yes, I suppose, heh.
woman: It'll be so great I can't wait. Everyone will have to move out of my way on the road. "Right-of-Way" should be my new liscense plates!
man: Well, you know what they say about people who drive those things?
woman: What?
man: They say that the people who drive those things are trying to compensate for something...smaller perhaps?
woman: You got that right! I'm a short woman! And I'm white too! My boyfriend is mexican and he gets pulled over a lot more than I do. But once I get the suburban I could drive him and his speeding tickets anywhere. Cops don't care about a little short white lady who's over 40 you know.
man: Heh, I suppose.
woman: You know what else?
man: What?
woman: They're so big that the driver sits up high. During the daytime you can see over all the traffic and get a good view of where to go and what to do. It's perfect since I've been short my whole life. And at night, if someone even thinks about cutting me off, then I have two words for them: "High-Beams". Ha! The SUV is so high that your lights go straight into their rear-view mirror effectively blinding the poor bastards. I'm so excited I can't wait!
man: Well, all right then. I was simply calling to see if you were ok from the missing window. I hope you like your new suburban.

One man blames SUV's and the next blames moped users. The real cause of bad driving is younger drivers. It's good to see the Americans and Kiwis have curfews. The problem in Australia is that there is no curfew at all, and the same idea was proposed to us over 2 decades ago.
I am only 16 though, but I am yet to get my learners permit. Less chance of me becoming a statistic.

I Just Don't Get It
What is the point of having a suped-up cadillac SUV? I just don't get it. All the bells and whistles you can think of and for what?
I suppose if I think real hard, I could imagine an SUV being used for a more rugged terrain than a normal car but even that has limits. If there is enough snow on the road then the great SUV driver will be as average as myself, stuck at home.
And even if some people consider this sort of vehicle a social statement then I still don't get it. My dream car is a Porsche from the future. It'll be sleek, smooth, contours shaped for minimum wind resistance, elegant, fast, and absolutely beautiful in every way. How the hell can someone think of an SUV as sleek and elegant? The only thing these vehicles do is bully other cars. They boast size and mobility versatility. They are simply bigger and meaner. What an absolute turn-off. I sicken to speak of all the wannabe compensators. That's what they are in my opinion! They're clearly trying to compensate for something! AND THAT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO SOCIABLE!

Actually, I saw this TV-show about cars a week or so ago, where they were testing a Japanese SUV against some of the vehichels (God, that's a hard word to spell!) of the Norwegian Defense Force in a training field somewhere in the Norwegian wilderness, and the SUV beat all the tracked and un-tracked ones, except the Leopard II... So they do have some "skills" off-road.
But I hate SUVs nontheless. Fuel guzzling, expensive, takes too much space; what's the good thing about these ... ummm... things?

Smartest American Drivers
Look what I found.  It appears Oregon drivers are the best! So sayeth the wise GMAC Insurance National Driver's Test. I want you all to know that I am a resident of Oregon therefore I would likely NOT kill fellow bystander American drivers. Unfortunately though, I'm afraid I can't say the same for bort and other such New England-ers. The study clearly shows the evil of North-eastern Americans: The Taxi Business
Quote:
Drivers in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states did worst. Twenty percent of test-takers failed there. The state of Rhode Island leads the nation in driver cluelessness, according to the survey. The average test score there was 77, just eight points above a failing grade. Those in neighboring Massachusetts were second worst and New Jersey, third worst. Northwestern states had the most knowledgeable drivers. In those states, just one to three percent failed the test. Oregon and Washington drivers knew the rules of the road best. In Oregon, the average test score was 89.
One out of five drivers doesn't know that a pedestrian in a crosswalk has the right of way, and one out of three drivers speeds up to make a yellow light, even when pedestrians are present, the study said. One out of 10 drivers regularly exceeds the speed limit by 11 or more miles per hour, with drivers aged between 18 and 24 years showing the greatest propensity for speeding, the study said. Younger drivers are the most likely to fail a written driving test while those between the ages of 50 and 64 are the most likely to pass.

Are Oregeners studying for the test while driving?
Apparently being able to pass a written test doesn't translate into being able to drive.
In Oregon, there were 451 car accident fatalities in 2000. Oregon's population in 2000 was 3,421,399. This works out to 13.2 per 100,000.
In New York, there were 1458 car accident fatalities in 2000. New York's population in 2000 was 18,976,457. This works out to 7.7 per 100,000.
(Sources census.gov and www.car-accidents.com)
So which would you rather have? A population that knows maximum allowable size for a bumper or a population that can actually control a vehicle?
(Oh, and I'm about as much a New Englander as you are a Californian.)
