Hey folks,

I'm having to trade up as the family unit has expanded more than my goodtime guy truck can handle....but was all thrown off on my purchase when I caught eye of those ads flying around comparing the SUV driving exp to one of a bucking bronc' at the rodeo.....though the thing looks like a woolly mammoth (sp?)

Anyone seen this yet?

I caught their site and came across a driving test game to sharpen skills...off road, on road.... www.esuvee.com/landing.html I believe

So I'm to understand our government dollars are at work teaching people how to drive SUVs? Awesome.

 

Actually it's Ford's dollars, not the government's. As a part of the Explorer rollover settlement, Ford had to develop a program to inform SUV drivers of the proper way to operate their vehicles. This was what they came up with.

It's fun, but imagine that, load an Esuvee up with a pile of stuff and under-inflate its paws and it handles funny, but does it roll over? Nope. Weird, huh?

People should be certified to drive. If you own an SUV/4x4PU you should be made to take a course in how to drive it. I liked the defensive driving course the Canadian Armed Forces had back in the 70's. I almost failed my test becasue I forgot to test the horn before setting off. He asked me "what would you have you done if you would have needed it and it did not sound?" You winn lever know how far you can push it if you never roll it over.......
