I'm not saying it would be a logical move.
I just think it would be a more effective way to ban SUVs then out right
banning them.
I don't specifically want a ban on SUVs. Just pointing out it a semi-ban
could be affected via a gas tax and insurance hikes.
As far as I know insurance companies do charge a higher premium for certain
types of vehicles.
There is nothing unfair or un-American about it. You can choose to buy and
use anything legal, you just have to be held responsible for all costs
associated with it.
