Don't drive your vehicle like a tank!!

Some rant here cos I got involved in a slight accident for the first time since I have been driving. No injuries luckily and to be honest, damage to property was minor. Very minor in fact. Just some scratches to the back bumper of my vehicle while the vehicle that banged into mine came out virtually unscathed.

Should I have been really pissed since it was just a minor accident/incident? Well, 2 reasons actually. One due to the ludicrous circumstances that the incident happened and two, the offending culprit was a SUV.

Scenario: At the traffic junction waiting for the lights to turn green. Green lights come on and everyone's starting to move off and BAM! Next thing I know my car ass got hit. Now, if we were travelling on the highway I might understand that perhaps you would have tailgated my sweet ass and did not stop in time but since we were all stopped by our dear red light and were therefore stationary before moving off....either it means you were dreaming away or you think your huge SUV can run down my small ass car like a friggin tank or simply put, cos the way you drive your SUV is like a friggin tank.

Which brings me to my "often observed but perhaps you might say biased" perception that somehow people who drive SUVs / luxury sedans all drive it like some friggin tank. They are huge, look mean and look ready to plow through anything that stands in the way. Ok maybe too exaggerated but my small vehicle is definitely fresh meat on the grinder for these guys. And did I ever mention that I hate these people who also drive their SUV so slowly like a friggin tank and always hogging the right lane? Right lane's for the fast movers so bugger off, seriously!
