[DMCForum] Doing the "Bob 'n Weave" WAS: Back to SUV!

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe that, but what the stats don't show is whether or not you're 
more likely to AVOID the accident in the first place by being in a 
smaller, more agile vehicle.

US 50 into Washington, DC is a speed strip. At 5:45 am, the commuters 
are typically driving 75-90 mph on their way to work. Would you care 
to guess how many potential SUV related accidents I've dodged because 
I can stop faster, accelerate faster or shift lanes more quickly 
because I won't roll over?

SUV, Cooper MINI, whatever. C'mon you apes, you wanna live forever?
