A London study suggests that drivers of sport utility vehicles are more likely to disobey laws involving cell phones and seat belts. Researchers observed passing motorists at different times and locations in London. The results, published in the British Medical Journal, show that SUV drivers were almost four times more likely to be using a cell phone — which is against the law in London — and also more likely not to use seat belts. The authors believe that SUV drivers feel safer inside their larger cars and thus are more likely to take risks.

Re: SUV DRIVERS FLOUT TRAFFIC LAWS?
Mon, July 17, 2006 - 7:00 PMyou should see them driving on the Garden State Parkway during a 40 Mph speed restriction in blizzard conditions doing sixty, and realizing that 4wd and the best braking in the world wont do crap for you on a large enough patch of black ice covered in powder when they just go 65mph anyway... I don't care if it's a land-rover... it's a land rover that can't stop on ice moving quickly to crush some poor guy to death in a beetle.
