    As a concept SUVs should not exist.

    They are unstable, heavy and slower to react than normal cars, also the proportions of the design of the SUV are ugly.

      That’s missing the point. The point is that this inhuman prick felt entitled to drive in the bike lane, ran over a cyclist’s foot, then killed the cyclist for having the audacity to object to having his foot run over.

      None of that had anything to do with SUVs. Trying to make it about SUVs is, in my view, often a derailment tactic to distract from the real issue of driver entitlement. Fair warning, I will have very little tolerance for that in this thread.
