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.
