Why did you buy a vehicle that size?

If there is one thing that really annoys me it’s being in the parking lot with a lot of SUV’s (this happens a lot at self storage facilities). It will never fail that at least one person who is driving one is not only in the vehicle alone but they also cannot park it. I have literally sat behind an SUV for ten minutes just waiting for them to maneuver it into or out of a parking space. I understand people who need them for the size of their families. I just cannot understand why you would purchase one if you could not drive it.

Have you ever been driving down an aisle and see a parking spot only to find out you cannot fit your car into it? This is another issue with SUV’s they either do not fit into the parking spaces or they cannot seem to park straight enough to fit in them. This leaves multiple parking spaces that not even a compact car can fit into comfortably. You may be able to squeeze into it but chances are once you get there you will not be able to open your doors.

There are many things that add to the general dislike of SUV’s but drivers can help to lessen it. Maybe it would help if all dealerships that sell SUV’s would have a mandatory driving and maneuvering class before purchasing. It would most certainly help if the parking spaces were widened in parking lots. Please if you do not have to have a mammoth sized vehicle do not purchase one. If you have to have it please learn how to drive it. Not only will you be happier because your driving experience will be better, but drivers everywhere will be happier because you are not hindering them. This will put a smile on everyone’s face.
