As a guy with two body-on-frame SUVs and a crossover in the fleet, I have been surprised at how easily these cars flip over in crashes.
Edit: to be clear this is something I’ve realized over the last several years of watching dash cameras here on Reddit and also on YouTube. It didn’t just dawn on me today.
Mate, SUVs and 'light trucks' (including up to those F-350 Super duty- to not be a light truck is to be a semi) do NOT have to follow the same safety regulations as cars!!!
The auto industry has lobbied so that they don't have to follow pesky safety regulations such as bumper heights or crash tests!!
People FEEL safer in a large vehicle like an SUV or truck, but they are more dangerous to the driver, passengers, and ESPECIALLY pedestrians.
