50 mph in a residential area, through Give Way markings and a roundabout, on a dark rainy night, and you think you're lucky not to damage your suspension? Lucky not to kill someone, more like.
Go to the nearest Post Office and hand your licence back, you're not fit to be behind the wheel of any vehicle.
Been there done that, bombing over this fecking thing in a side street in Ladbroke Grove a few years ago, at 50 MPH one dark rainy night so I didn't see it!:
Actually, I'm pretty sure it was much higher back then. I was damned lucky not to completely knacker my suspension!
It's easily done, and I didn't even have the excuse of a bawling infant in the back of the car!

Those sort of cars are useful if you have a large pet or three to ferry around, which is why people get them.
Or wheel chairs, there are not many cars that can take a wheel chair in the boot (even folded up), also the ground clearance is handy when parking on building sites.
I would rather a sporty 2 seater but practicality has to happen
I was given a Qashqai once as a courtesy car while my 350z was in for service. Comfy enough. Wouldn't buy one though; not my sort of car. It's got room in the back where people can sit down and a boot that still has plenty of space after you've put a couple of Fortnum's carrier bag in it. Madness.

Look at the pictures and read the testimony. She was the wrong side of a solid white line, the truck driver braked to let her through but knew she couldn't make the turn and she hit a full blown frickin' roundabout, not a speed bump.
Also Ladbroke Grove is in a 30 limit (street lights and no repeater signs for anything else) and you obviously missed the crossroads and the warning signs. So please don't try and lecture people on bad driving...
It's called the law innit? You have more visibility, more control and are the one who will be injuring the cyclist/pedestrian so the onus is on you to be aware of dangerous cyclists. In reality if a cyclist does something stupid and you run them over, how are you going to feel? Will you be fine because it wasn't your fault, or will you be traumatised because regardless of fault, you squished a person under your wheels?
You mean the law about not going through red lights, you complete weapon?
What accident? It was an incompetent f***up, nothing accidental about it.
