and none of the wagons can hold us... so what is worse... taking two cars everytime we want to go somewhere or one car that holds us all when we want to go to the beach... or tow my car to the track and have the family watch????
However I am glad people are driving them LESS for the majority of them that have one child and a mom in there at any given time.. I'll keep my suv as a third car for the family occasions...

Typical a-hole SUV driver pattern of thought.
Which is why it makes it all the more fun to slow waaaay down and not let the SUV driver pass-by when they're stuck behind me

I know someone just like him. He has no friends either.
If people are driving these cars less but still need space and utility on occasion I see a great use of cars like the Dodge SPrinter coming into fashion for the working man and family versions. And also, higher sales of small pickups with fewer frills that will be bought for occasional use but sit in the driveway most of the time.
I bet the resale of every used Tacoma just went up a couple grand.

I honestly wish you the best of luck with your expectation. We have had those laws in NY for a rather long time and nothing has changed. The cops don't enforce it and basically look the other way when they see it happening. NY has had for maybe as long as a decade the law that headlights are to be on when the wipers are on. I see this law violated all the time and not enforced, hell, I even see the cops violating this law.

I am seeing even more people driving with their cell phone attached to their ear more than ever. They are so easy to spot too. I blow by them because I don't want them anywhere near me because they are an accident waiting to happen.

This is exactly the attitude of pick up truck drivers, I couldn't describe it better than this.
