Hmm.... let's think about this. What if they are right, what if a driving SUV is damaging the environment and is a traffic hazard.... if they are that dangerous, do you really want them driving around? Or is it better if they are parked somewhere?

I don't have a problem with SUV's persé. What does bother me is the attitude with which which the majority of the SUV drivers go around town. While constantly on their cell phones they don't really care about traffic and even if they do cause an accident, chances are that their car is bigger and that they won't be the ones with the worst damage and/or injuries. You should be free to choose whatever car you like, but if it turns out that people start acting like big jerks, just because they feel invulnarable in their big cars, than I could care less if a city decides that they cannot park there anymore!
