Why would one want a 5000 lb vehicle to handle like a car?

Wouldn't it be safer and more prudent if one was constantly reminded through
the handling of the vehicle that it weighed 5000 lbs, especially when it
comes to stopping, cornering and for economy when accelerating?

My solution to this whole mess is to outlaw power steering. Then these
"soccer moms" in those 5000 lb SUV's wouldn't have two free hands (one for
the cell phone, the other to eat the burrito) while they are driving at
30+mph through a school zone loaded with kids.

That or bomb the oil fields.

Amen!
