IIHS researchers analyzed pedestrian crashes to develop injury risk curves showing how speed affects crash outcomes. They found that the effect of crash speed on injury risk was magnified for vehicles with taller front ends. Compared with risk curves developed using crash data from Europe, where tall passenger vehicles are less common, risk curves for the U.S. show pedestrians here begin to suffer more serious injuries at lower speeds.
big boy not always smart boy…
and like I said how many ‘high front end’ vehicles are driven by people that even believe in science? Based on the bumper stickers I’ve seen on trucks, or the trucks I’ve seen under bumper stickers, not many in my town. This isn’t even trailerpark, usa… things are looking not too great.
Now fallacies and anecdotes. You’ve never even owned a truck. LOL.
