It's not like SUVs *can't* be driven safely... They usually just *aren't*.

I had the novel concept of an intermediate license classification between "C" and "CDL" for SUV owners. This wouldn't be a *punitive* course, but would involve instruction that SUV owners really should know, like:
-- Compensating for a larger "blind" spot.
-- How to parallel park without hitting other parked cars.
-- How to judge appropriate stopping distances for defensive/emergency stops.
-- Understanding the vehicle's turning radius and anticipating the risks of "rollover".
-- Efficient driving techniques to maximize fuel economy.

This might be a two-week course that would grant the driver an "S" class license.

The benefit to this program is that it would weed out lazy/incompetent drivers and would improve the skills of marginal drivers.

 

In France I noticed all the cars had rubber bumpers and drivers would parallel park by backing up until bumping the car behind them. Obviously that would never work here with everyone's bumpers being plastic and painted, but it seemed like a good idea.
