> SUVs are rollover risks...

Only if you drive like a complete moron.  After 10 years in the
fire/rescue/ems biz, I can personally say that I've seen many times more
rollovers involving cars than those involving SUVs.  The fact is, *ANY*
vehicle can roll over if it is not driven properly.  When people drive
appropriate to the vehicle and road conditions, then *NO* vehicle has a
measurable risk of either rollover or being prone to fatal accidents.  And
that is indisputable.  If you anti-SUV folks would put as much effort into
getting proper driver's education back into the schools we might get
somewhere.

[Sorry for feeding the troll- it was a moment of weakness]
