We do know that the size of the average car in the #UnitedStates is utterly bonkers. And that heavy cars (SUVs and pick-ups) with towering bonnets pose a serious threat to pedestrians and cyclists.

The Vengeance model of Californian #SUV-builder #Reznavi has set a new benchmark in terms of #stupidity and utter contempt for other #roadusers. Bullet proof glass, tear gas dispensers in the rear view mirrors, flashing stun lights: #urban warfare, anyone? #carrogance #traffic https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/jan/25/pepper-spray-school-run-apocalyptic-suv-reznavi-vengeange

"This steroidal tank might seem like an anomalous extreme, but the truth is it represents the broader rise of the average US consumer vehicle into a supercharged killing machine. With its added tactical weaponry and paranoid styling, at least the Vengeance is honest about it."
