Fears over safety as analysis by Which? shows ‘autobesity’ epidemic means cars getting wider and longer

While this is mostly about parking issues, the part that stood out most to me in this is:

A study published in the Journal of Safety Research last year found that children were eight times more likely to die when struck by an SUV than those struck by a passenger car.

Eight times! To me, that’s insane. Even if it were 50% that would be very bad, but this is 700% more!

    I can’t remember where I saw it for the first time but it was shortly after my accident and it was so fitting. Feel free to use it and spread it around.

    I got hit by a Dodge Ram so my other lame joke is “I can take a full ram from a Dodge Ram”.
