They should not be allowed in cities at all because they encourage irresponsible driving and when they hit a pedestrian or cyclist, the injuries are more deadly. Make people with these cars stop at the city border and use public transport.
I want to add that they also have greater blind spots. I got run over by an SUV driving out of a parking space, because the driver said she didn't see me. I am an old, fat woman with a walking aid with four wheels and had multiple colorful bags from shopping with me and was wearing a white, big summer hat. She would have overlooked an elephant, because her car is as huge as a tank. My walking aid saved me and I only had minor injuries, a kid would have died.
Was "sedan" meant here and not "saloon"?
Try as I might, I can't think of why anyone would want to compare SUV's to a western drinking establishment of a bygone era. Although I do see how being in a saloon at the wrong time would have also come with it's own deadly risks.
It's funny because you could have checked this yourself by just searching "saloon car" but you chose to be rude instead.
Did they change their comment since you replied or something? I'm just nosy and their comment doesn't seem very rude lol
