In the past two weeks I've nearly been taken out six times.
Five of those were from minivans. The other a mini SUV; a Honda CR-V. No kidding.
Is it the way they're built? Maybe they have huge blindspots?
It's because the drivers aren't paying attention and simply change lanes or pull out whenever they feel like it. It's sort of ironic really; I would expect someone who is hauling along the entire family to be even more attentive and aware of their surroundings instead of totally carefree and reckless.
Whatever the reason, if you're anywhere near a minivan or mini SUV, get the hell outta Dodge before you're on the ground gazing up at a "baby on board" or "my child is on the honor roll" sticker as it speeds away.
