Nice try, I've never driven a SUV in my life (nor would I!). I drive, and have always driven, a sub compact. Nor am I or have I ever been a triathlete. But a hater of Vespa's or Mopeds that race between cars in traffic in reckless and break neck fashion in heavy congestion, putting everyone at risk to gain two feet of pavement? Guilty as charged!

They only risk their only live, not yours. So isn't this their personal right to risk it?


They risk everyones lives. You've never seen accidents occur because of people trying to avoid hitting someone? Driving in this country is a privilege , not a right. And as one of our most reverved judges once said "your right to swing your fist ends at your neighbor's nose". Playing Russian roulette is risking your own life. Playing it on the highway system is risking everyones.

I get your point.

Though I would drive the same way if I just had a motocycle

Congrats Mike!

Not to mention that regardless of fault you'll still get the sh!t sued out of you by the "injured party" or his next of kin.

I went to school after they decided letting young uns play with radioactivity was not a good thing I guess it was all different in your day? Atomic vacuum cleaners were just around the corner and maybe there were aliens on the moon?

No wonder you're all so soft. And when I grew up they let me play with atomic weapons too!

A porsche for hockey?


You've never heard of "street hockey?"


How big is the puck?


A kid on a Vespa or a Mo-ped.



Spoken like a true American SUV driver. And that coming from a triathlete as well...

Steve-

Growing up (and learning to drive) in the urban sprawl of Los Angeles, we developed a name for those people. We called them 'kidney donors'.

Sure. Provided that they decline any sort of public assistance for disability, medical coverage or physical therapy. Seems as though most want their 'choice', yet want to have the public assume their personal risks.

Was that a 'cloud chamber'? If so, we had one.
