I didn't enjoy having 3 large vehicles hit my Camry within a year.

I don't see too many smaller vehicles than even my Toyota, but generally they aren't the ones tailgating me when I am driving the speed limit.

When I let my then-girlfriend drive my Subaru her mom said my girlfriend needed to drive a Suburban "For her own safety."

I shuddered, thinking of everyone else's safety, but said "No, she needs a smart car! It has a 5-star crash rating!"

I just thought that she needed to drive defensively, but whatever she was doing in the fast lane on her Can-Am Spyder without a helmet probably wasn't defensive.

The crazy friend who rear-ended a truck with her 1990 Civic briefly drove a Suburban and we were horrified because she refused to put down her phone and did things like rear-end trucks.

I really think there is a correlation between size of vehicle and tendency to drive... less fuel-efficiently.
