Most recent study said SUV's are NOT safe.

prove it.


From government stats. Note also that if it wasn't for CAFE, more people would be in safe large cars instead of being forced into SUV's.

In fatal crashes between passenger cars and LTVs (light trucks and vans, a category that includes SUVs), the occupants of the car were more often fatally injured. When a car was struck in the side by an LTV, the fatality was 20.8 times more likely to have been in the passenger car. In a head-on collision between a car and an LTV, the fatality was 3.3 times more likely to be among car occupants.
