A 5 yr Belgian study showed the BIG impact of increasing vehicle weight on road deaths & injuries. When a person on a bike or walking is hit by a pick-up, the risk of serious injury increases by 90% compared to a car. The risk of death goes up by 200%.

It’s not just mass, it’s the height of the front end of SUVs and pick-ups. ‘Normal’ cars flip you up and over, but these beasts hit you above your centre of gravity and knock you you downwards as a result - and hit small kids at chest/ head/general vital organ height. They’re death machines.

A kid sized doll and a roll of duct tape could cause all kinds of fun when applied in the right manner.

Friend of mine was in a hit-and-run by a full-size SUV while biking last year and got a concussion. He wrote on social media that he thought it was on purpose, but that he was okay for the most part. That was his last post - he passed away a few days later.

And 70% of them aren’t used as trucks. Believe that was JD Power. So they’re guzzling gas to move one person around town.
