jitmab, old boy (or girl), you succeeded in making Cashboy's safety point. According to the testimony of that busybody battle-axe, Claybrook, (a stale leftover from the Jimmuh Carter, double nickle days), of those persons fatally injured in SUV-car collisions, the vast majority, eighty per cent, were car occupants (see NHTSA report, 'Relationships Between Vehicle Size and Fatality Risk')."

Since the vast majority of crashes are between passenger vehicles, not commercial trucks, it's been obvious for years that bigger and heavier translates into safer for occupants. Once again, thank the dangerous and stupid CAFE requirements for this. And just wait and see the type of little tin can, crackerbox cars that will be mandated as a result of "global warming" regulations..
