"Is Ireland the most hypocritical nation in Europe as well as the most SUV addicted? That seems the only way to reconcile data showing that two in three cars sold here in 2022 were sports utility vehicles, while the 2023 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) annual poll showed eighth in ten people here believe acting on climate change will improve our quality of life."

I hate SUVs! Over where I live, in Luxembourg, country roads especially in villages can be quite narrow and drivers of SUVs are the absolute worst for having no idea how wide their vehicles aren't! The gutters on many country roads here are still lined with cobbles so you get an audible signal when you are as far over on your side of the road as you can get without kerbing your tyres and these obese SUV drivers try to force further over even though I can see they are the best part of metre from the bloody kerb on their side! I hate the bastards!!!

@Paulos_the_fog Here in Scotland we have this problem and I usually stop. If they can get past me, they will, but I won’t kerb my vehicle to get past them.
