There are two approaches to avoiding accidents:

* The SUV mentality: Have accidents, but avoid the results.
* The Anti-SUV mentality: Avoid accidents entirely

For every big vehicle, there is a bigger one
America’s current approach is the first - buy cars so big you are unhurt in a crash.
But for every big vehicle, there is a bigger one. If your Mercedes meets
a truck/trailer combine, you will be crushed whatever your safety rating.
Metal is not a cure for carelessness. While SUVs seem safe, studies show they
tip easily, maneuver poorly, waste petrol, hog the road, make bigger targets, and
overfill parking spaces.

If we all drove in tanks, would the roads be safer?
Whatever the metal around you, a bigger vehicle can always penetrate it.
The SUV mentality tries to put a metal barrier between you and the world, so others (not you)
pay the price of accidents. The result is a vehicle arms race, where everyone drives bigger cars.
That big vehicles also cause more damage is ignored.
If we all drove around in main battle tanks, would the roads be safer?
SUV drivers would insulate themselves from the world, but that is not a good way to go.
