STUDY: Children are 8 times more likely to be killed in crashes involving SUVs/pick-ups than regular cars. Altogether, SUVs/pickups account for 38% of pedestrian and cyclist fatalities.
@straphanger how do we even fix this with all the huge cars on the road and new small cars increasingly harder to find? I’m planning to sell my car this year and go bike-only but honestly the biggest thing holding me back is that if I ended up needing a car again I don’t think I could find something as small as my Nissan Juke.
