Yawn. If you drive them correctly, they don't roll over. Otherwise
large cargo box trucks and tractor trailers are surely the first
vehicles in need of banning. And the former requires no special
drivers license nor training before you're permitted to get
behind the wheel of any sub 26,000 GVWR, two axle cargo box truck.

I saw the dateline video of SUVs rolling over. It was video footage
from **HIGH SPEED POLICE CHASES**!!!! If how your vehicle performs
fleeing police is a problem for you, you should already be in jail.

Once again, if you drive them correctly, SUVs don't roll over.
