But how will the other people know I have money if my car isn’t huge?
The protection argument has some merit, though. I remember seeing several studies that show survival rates are bigger for the SUV inhabitants in crashes. What SUV drivers don’t know (or simply don’t care about) is that it’s survival in the detriment of smaller cars inhabitants.
Poor crash compatibility, and for reasons to do with chicken imports from Europe in the past (Not just bikes covers this), light trucks have less regulation in NA compared to cars, incentivizing the manufacturers to push them into consumers as well.
It’s shittiness all round and government is like that cat from the “bachelorette woman crying” meme.
This whole vehicular size arms race needs to go away please.
It’s so retarded that people think they need to get bigger cars to “protect” themselves in accidents. Just feedback looping stupidity.
The next “logical” step after SUVs is driving APCs in the name of safety.
already exists, armed with variety of lethal and non-lethal defense systems, up-armoured to take on anything short of 30mmAP rounds
