It's a puzzling question - what did all these people drive before SUVs? Buicks? Or do SUVs cause brain-rot?
In the old days, the heuristic was "old guy, wearing a hat, driving a Buick - keep well clear." I've added a few terms - vanity plates (sorry to my friends who have them, but often they indicate too much car-centricity), SUVs, obvious cell phone use, ski box mounted in summer.
Only 14 days left for legal hand-help phone use while driving in Ontario! I hope it helps, but I doubt it.
(I did wind up once driving a rental Ford SUV, which I mentally dubbed the rent-a-behemoth. They're scary to drive, you're so high up and have such poor visibility. I've driven most of the things you can with a class G license, including a 5-ton truck, a diesel with a 6-speed gearshift. I'd take the 5-ton over the SUV for a feeling of knowing what was where.)
