I don't have to "need" something to "want" it. And I don't have to justify it to anyone except my better half...

Also people want to protect their kids on the school run. A big, heavy SUV is excellent for that and can fit a whole lot of shopping bags as well. That KIA is nowhere near adequate for the job.

Because you want yours to be safe as priority.

Correct. Would you drive your kids to school on a motorcycle? Most parents wouldn't. Same thing with small/big cars.

And again, you simply CAN'T remove all the big vehicles. The most dangerous vehicles are not SUV's or personal transportation, but commercial vehicles which need to be large to do their job. You can't remove them from traffic and you have to face the possibility of encountering one in an accident. The only thing YOU can do is choose the vehicle you might end up having an accident in.

I find those head on tests funny.  40 MPH into a wall... :rofl




Want something that is big and heavy to take kids to school?  It's an awesome vehicle, easily weighing twice of what ANY SUV could ever achieve.  It's called a SCHOOL BUS. :D

Disagree. the average car is smaller here and we have a lot heavier trucks than u have in the US and people are not getting killed in amy greater numbers. commercial vehicles are driven by bbetter drivers than the average suv-driver so they are prob less dangerous.

You guys drive Volvos. They're like armored trucks.

Maybe, but they are also safer to other cars.

Weight can also work against a vehicle not properly designed to absorb the energy of the impact.  The Hummer H3 comes to mind.

Thats very true, a heavy and stiffer car is more dangerous to the passengers. the car might be fine but the forces on those inside it are bigger.

Any vehicle not properly designed can be dangerous.
