That is a ludicrous statement...
The roads would be safer if people actually learned how to drive properly and paid attention. SUVs are not the problem; they are just a bigger missile for the idiots on their cellphones to hit you with...
yes it's true. But it also this;
n fact, a recent study was done assessing the outcomes of nearly four years of crashes in the United States involving over 70,000 children from birth to 15 years of age. Nearly 40 percent of the children were in SUVs and 60 percent in passenger cars. The study found that SUVs were not safer than passenger cars. The risk for injury to children was similar in SUVs and passenger cars. Heavier cars tended to be safer than lighter cars, within both classes of vehicles. However, the safety advantage of the SUV's extra weight was counteracted by the more than two times greater risk of rollover in an SUV, and the three times greater risk of injury for children in rollovers. - See more at:
