General Road and Highway Discussion

[Bytor]

Wasn't sure where to post this but it appears an "environmental" group that really hates SUVs for some reason is now doing a local campaign of vandalism where they go out and deflate tires. Last night, they deflated the tires of 60 SUVs across the region: https://twitter.com/T_Extinguishers/stat...0578693120

Ridiculous tactics and I won't blame anyone for beating the shit out of one of these people with a bat if they get caught.

While I don't agree with their mischief (legal definition which includes property damage), it's not "for some reason" as if the negative externalities of SUVs were unknown.

* greater risk to pedestrians and cyclists in collisions
* greater likelihood of mot seeing those pedestrians and cyclists in the first place 
* higher emissions & pollution
* greater wear and tear to roads
