- I'd say so. The size and weight of vehicles have become more deadly in crashes involving pedestrians and cyclists. -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 06:46 3
  - This study was occupant fatalities. Wonder how it changes when you consider other people involved in the accident. -- nm - Fuzzy Nov 17, 06:54 2
    - Ahh. I'd like to see some numbers with people outside the vehicle included. Things are not getting better for people outside the vehicles. - Krusty Nov 17, 07:54 1
      - I feel like an anomaly here. I drive a very large, very heavy vehicle. But I drive it like it's a large, heavy vehicle. - Fuzzy Nov 17, 09:05
Driver effect? They e replaced BMW as my number one “drives like an ass, gonna do something dumb,” car. -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 04:34 3
