Ian Brossat, a former Paris councillor and now a senator representing the French Communist party, called for SUVs to be banned in Paris. “This is not the first incident of its kind, and the dangerous nature of SUVs has already been pointed out on several occasions. We owe it to this young man to realise the scale of the problem and draw all the consequences,” Brossat told the Nouvel Obs.

You're absolutely the exception, not the rule

Take your tiny-penis truck and leave, there's a good fella

You seem to have misunderstood what I was saying. I was saying the article just says SUV. But what does it mean by SUV? Full size SUVs? Because the little SUVs over there are really small and may notnbe what they are talking about. I was commenting on it being unclear, I wasn't supporting the use of SUVs. Maybe try to piece it together before you insult someone?

Edit: example- a 2022 BMW X1 is 300mm shorter in length than a 2022 BMW 330xi. So if you ban that SUV, do you ban cars too? What's the proportions they want to ban?
