Can't be long now before they realise that despite the potential danger to pedestrians of physically larger cars... they tend to be driven more carefully.

**SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!**

Sorry about that... My unconscious mind just gre an arm out of the side of my skull and woke me up from my wonderful dream!
