Texas is big on BIG vehicles. We seem to have the largest sales of Chevy, Ford, Dodge pickups. We buy more Suburbans than any other state. I can't speak on Excursions or Hummers. Each day I see thousands of SUVs and the drivers are responsible drivers and their presence is soon forgotten. I equate the bad SUV drivers like the fellows in small towns with loud mufflers on their trucks ........... just wait a minute one of them will show up.
