I remember decades ago, even before the SUV mania, a colleague of mine who was this little woman and drove a large all terrain car (in the city) because "it made her feel safe".

As it turns those vehicles had a higher likelihood for the driver to lose control and roll-over than normal cars.

It's a mix of stupid and selfishness to the point of Evil.
