That is exactly it, there was a study on this and that was the exact conclusion they came to, most people driving these large SUV feel threaten on the road and this made them feel safer.

I can tell you, when I had my SUV, it allow me to look way ahead and see what was going on around me, considering the idiot on the road, I can tell you the fact I could see ahead same me a few time since the idiot right in front of me waited to the last minute to hit is brakes and almost hit the person in front of them.
