Fears over safety as analysis by Which? shows ‘autobesity’ epidemic means cars getting wider and longer

While this is mostly about parking issues, the part that stood out most to me in this is:

A study published in the Journal of Safety Research last year found that children were eight times more likely to die when struck by an SUV than those struck by a passenger car.

Eight times! To me, that’s insane. Even if it were 50% that would be very bad, but this is 700% more!

    It seems like the solution is easy: don’t allow cars to be sold in the country if they don’t fit into the parking spots…
