I wonder if this could be used in a push against the damn things - after all, IIRC you're 4 times as likely to kill another driver in an accident if you're in an SUV and something like 12 times as likely to kill a pedestrian. Sure, you'll survive, but shouldn't this be resulting in more prosecutions for dangerous driving fatalities?

SUVs seem to be amongst the hardest vehicles on the road to drive because of their size, lack of visibility (sure, you can see well out the front), etc. It's absolutely criminal that people who can barely drive a compact are allowed to get in one of them.
