Don't you hate it when SUVs drive up your butt in the snow?

Yes, it does bother me...I have a very tiny car...But, I also got and get the last laugh at the pump...when they are sinking $80.00 into their tanks, where mine only costs about $20.00 to fill, and mine gets almost 40 mpg...and its full of pepp!!!

Friendly Stranger..

Drivers of SUV's do that whether it is snowing or not. That is just my experience, but all the more I do not like it. The thing is many drivers of SUV's believe they are the kings of the road. They feel that just because they have a large massive vehicle they can get that close to you and intimidate you based on their size. Its not right, and it is a bad practice for driving. What drivers should do is back off, give space and don't be immature as it relates to driving. That is how accidents are caused especially in the snow. When you drive that way when there isn't wintry weather there is a risk for an accident, but in snow the accident risk doubles because you are battling the elements. Its a bad idea drive that way.

I hate it when anybody, especially large vehicles, get too close to my rear end. I generally don't drive differently, I just try to pretend they're not there.

They are ignorant to the fact that they have no idea how to handle their vehicle and how much more damage and injury they likely will cause than an average car. But those of whom said they slow down intentionally are only causing more of a hazard and that is not wise or safe either. Some people feel this need to go out in bad weather when their vehicles are not equipped anywhere near properly for those conditions, therefore they drive at an extremely slow pace and do become a nuisance and even a hazard to those of whom are properly equipped. This can be as unsafe as the SUV driver who tailgates in comparison. I'm not saying this is necessarily what you do. I don't drive an SUV either, but my vehicle is properly equipped for winter conditions. And for the one who commented on tractor-trailers, the trucks don't handle any better than cars, but it seems cars increase in making some very unsafe maneuvers around trucks in that sort of weather. Trust me, the truck drivers don't want to be anywhere near you when you go sliding into the median because you're trying to send a text message about how much snow is out there, that is, if they even see you because most of you don't bother turning on your headlights either.

Sometimes I'll slow down to a snail's pace if I have the time. Most of the time, I just ignore them. I figure why let them drag me into their world of apparent tardiness. The way I look at it,it's not my fault -- they should have left the house earlier.

We don't get snow here but I tell you what.. I hate it when people behind you honk at you to go 0.1 seconds after the light turns green.

Oh, I miss understood you question at first! I thought you were talking about some ugly vandals, and getting my knees frost bitten.The answer is still "no", cause no one out drives me in the snow.

Yes I had this problem today! Sod them I am not going to rush for them, let the SUVs continue to lick my arsehole if they wish!

I just wave them by and let the laws of physics handle the situation.

I'll see them again anyway about ten miles down the road. They will be parked arsse backwards down in the ditch with their headlights aimed at the stars. And I will drive by, give them a wave and a toot of my horn, and be on my way slapping my thigh and laughing like a hyena.

Im mean, I will slow down, don't care how slow, I don't care if they get mad at me. I will slow down for a red light or a stop sign really slow. etc.

also don't say that about ever suv driver! I drive an suv and don't normally do that ever. Also its not just suvs, you probably just see more suvs because they are used for work a lot and when people get paid by the customer, they save time however they can. Also watch minivans, im not sure if it is just here, but minivan people tend to be crazy!
