Unfortunately I feel similarly, especially with a small child. SF has essentially stopped enforcing traffic violations, drivers are getting reckless, and a RAV4 is the smallest vehicle that feels safe to me.

Stopped? I saw a bicycle get ticketed recently. Seemed rather strict.

Exactly. I've had people try to enter my lane on the highway in my RAV4 Prime! Technically it can happen with any vehicle, but aging demographics sure don't breed confidence.

It's really sad that it's come to this.

Regulators asleep at the wheel and they let the "cars" get too big.

The regulators are heavily funded by the auto industry, creates an environment where they don't want to upset the hand that feeds them.

I absolutely agree the "cars" have become too big, as well as too heavy. This has flow on effects on stopping distances, the force when there is a crash, road damage, parking spots and lanes needing to get bigger and so on
