A lot of fecking SUV 'drivers', women and men both, do my head in( but it has to be said especially women, and especially in the cities). It's one of the unsavoury aspects of the Celtic Tiger that people seem to feel the need to buy one of these animals, and a lot of them haven't a clue how to drive them. I think they should be made do a different test altogether for SUVs. Let's face it, they can be dangerous because they are big, and high off the ground, and some of the people I've seen driving them wouldn't inspire confidence. They can't park them, can't reverse them, can't see over the bloody steering wheel half the time.

I'm not looking forward to any recession, but at least it might get some of these senseless yokes off the streets.

PS, To all good SUV drivers who can handle them, and either like or need to drive a jeep type car, you are exempt from this rant. It's purely aimed at people who want to drive a big status symbol, but can't fecking drive it.

Are there any other kind of people who want to drive them?

Well, I suppose some people *can* drive them, and others need SUV type vehicles for farm work etc. People in Ranelagh don't need SUVs.

Doesnt look as bad in this picture. Apparantely, the driver put the jeep into Drive instead of Reverse!!!!

AZOffaly · June 25, 2008, 10:04:53 AM

Fair enough (but daft) that she put it into drive instead of reverse (I suppose it can happen with an automatic), but she must have been trying to reverse at warp speed to mount the path, and mount the car the other side.

Excellent!

No mention of a woman driver?

One thing always puzzles me about them yokes - how come as big and all as they are, there's no room for the spare wheel in any of them?

apologies. the article has changed since i first put the post up.
The first article went to great lengths to state it was a woman driving. sort of tongue in cheek
