In terms of causing harm to car occupants, SUVs have become more similar to
cars when striking cars on both the front and side than they were in the
past, controlling for weight category. Pickups generally still were more
aggressive, particularly for front-to-front crashes. Of note is the
reduction in the SUV rates of Figure 4b, compared with the 2000-01 numbers
of Figure 4a.
Czyli mamy to, co w "zwykłych" samochodach, poza tym - tu mój komentaż, że
zmniejszamy szansę na przeżycie tych, których owe SUV-y mogą potencjalnie
trafić.

Poza tym, pomijając techniczne "bajery" porawiające bezpieczeństwo,
pozostają inne czynniki które (za

[...]
Are SUVs more likely than non-SUVs to be involved in collisions?
Small and large SUVs were about 30% less likely to be involved in a
collision than a non-SUV, relative to the number of registered cars.
[...]
Do occupants of non-SUVs have a relatively higher risk of injury in a
collision with an SUV?
Large SUVs are more dangerous to drivers of small cars (no significant
differences were found between the other-car casualty rates for large SUVs
and the other car types).

Raport odnosi się do warunków miejskich.

Czyli: kierowcy suv-ów są właściwie tak samo narażeni jak inni uczestnicy
ruchu, ale ofiary ew. kolizji z nimi - bardziej, czyli tak, jak przy kolizji
z ciężarówką.
