Why our commutes and traffic is more snarled(another reason)...?

Question

In a given space, when we have larger trucks/SUV’s and passenger cars which have grown much longer and larger, it’s a given that in the same amount of space, there will be more congestion. This is the 800-lb elephant no-one has tied to heavier traffic.

Look at it this way…if we all drove semi’s with trailers, traffic would be much worse. If we all drove Bicycles, traffic would be much less (and neither of these scenarios will ever happen).

Just watch a movie from the 80’s showing people on the freeway versus now. You would think half of America now hauls manure for a living or helps their friend to move every weekend.

I need a new car in about six months…should I get a Smart Car or an H-2?

Answer 1

Go with the smart car. Especially with the fuel prices these days.
