Why do people hate 4x4 drivers?

No, its not global warming, as any 4x4 driver will immediately tell you. Its easy for them to keep their heads in the sand in that respect. Its because they're idiots. And hypocrits. Speak to any one and you'll see what I mean. My friend got an email from one after he joined an anti 4x4 facebook group. He said that he got his SUV not just to be a poser, but because he needed to pull his horsecart, and because he needed luxury. Mostly they'll say they need it to drive offroad on some trip that never happens, or happens once in their lifetime, and they have to make an effort to find somewhere where the 4x4 function is needed, since even in africa there are very few places a sensible person needs it. In fact, if you do, you're probably destroying some small animals home. Which brings me to one of the main attractions. Invincibility. 4x4's can drive over lots of things and bump lots of things without any risk to the driver. I had the front of my car smashed by a 4x4 in a parking lot, and know of many others who had similar. This means you can drive like an idiot without risk. Now that's bound to make you unpopular, but if you don't care, what does it say about you? I know of another 4x4 driver who drove his overpowered, excessively fast 3 ton behemoth into the back of a row of stationary traffic in the fast lane on the highway. He was upset because some "idiot" caused his 4x4 to be written off, and he had to find a lift home. How bothersome. He said he didn't even bother to brake. The insurance gave him a new one. He never mentioned the carnage or how many people died in the car in front. Not that he bothered to check. 4x4's are major obstacles and block the view of other drivers on the road, stretch right across a parking space and damage the car next door when opening their gigantic doors, destroy the environment and kill animals by driving offroad, drive much to fast and endanger other road users, can't stay in their lanes because they're too big and can't see, drive into dogs and cats, small people, parked cars because they can't see them. Basically they're irrational modes of transport, and only a narcissistic jerk would be prepared to have one. You have to think that you are the most important thing in the world, and need to be specially looked after, and are more responsible and clever than everyone else, to buy one. Which makes you what?
