I know that a lot of people resent those of us who drive trucks and SUV types, but I don't think we drive any more aggressively than the Camry, foreign sports car and Prius-types. The simple fact is that trucks and SUVs have a lot of utility these days, compared to small cars, and that makes them popular. There are just a lot more trucks on the road, and it follows that a larger percentage will be involved in wrecks. I feel a lot safer in my Suburban than I have felt in the smaller cars I drove for my employer in years past, but I don't drive aggressively in any vehicle.
