Car accident

At this day and age, you would think that people would drive a bit more carefully if they have an SUV/Truck, instead of speeding down the road thinking they're invincible. They couldn't be more wrong. Instead, they tear down the road, and hit the little weeny cars that populate the road. The drivers of the weeny little cars would realize the extent of the damage to their car, then would rather drive an SUV as their next car. Does that even make any sense?

I did a lot of driving over the weekend, probably 10 hours (including the time I went to Philadelphia which I didn't drive to).

I must have seen like 7 or 8 accidents through the whole weekend. 4 of them were SUVs, 2 were sedans. One SUV must have speeding and hydroplaned off to the side of the road smashing into trees when it was pouring rain. Two SUVs were in a bad accident when one rear ended the other. It drives me crazy that some people were rubberneckers and just completely slow down and see the accident. Yes, sometimes it gets me curious, but other times, I just want to go home, safely.

It's just sad to see how many accidents I've seen in just a short span of 3 days. Sure, sometimes driving an SUV could save your life because the car is so "BIG", but on the other hand it could cause more damage to a little sedan like mine.

I get very nervous when I have to drive in between two SUVs, and Trucks on a three or more lane highway.

So, do yourself a favor, do not get a large SUV, and if you do, be careful driving. Now I see why my mom says, "I'm never gonna let you drive until you're 30!" Ptth.
