There are 2 different types of safety, Active Safety and Passive Safety. gas Guzzling SUVs are well known for their passive safety, the safety is primarily provided by the fact that they're so big, the can easily absorb the impact of many other smaller vehicles. Small vehicles traditionally have much better active safety otherwise known as being able to "Get the F**K out of the way", however, this is very dependent on the driver's ability and concentration levels. Given the co-ordination many of these people demonstrate, in both their driving, and parking. I don't think active safety will be of any use to them. Many of the problems come from people driving these large cars, but not actually having any previous experience driving something of that size - and expecting it to work exactly the same as a normal (small) car. It both irritates me, and amuses me. I still need to get around to printing a load of stickers which say "Learn to park - muppet", so that I can stick them on any particularly bad offenders.
