| SUVs gefährlicher für Fußgänger |  |
Eh nix neues und logisch für jeden Normaldenkenden, aber nachdems immer wieder einige gibt, die das nicht wahrhaben wollen, jetzt Schwarz auf Weiß von einer Non-Profit-Organisation finanziert von Autoversicherern:
Whatever their nose shape, pickups, SUVs and vans with a hood height greater than 40 inches are about 45 percent more likely to cause fatalities in pedestrian crashes than cars and other vehicles with a hood height of 30 inches or less and a sloping profile, an IIHS study of nearly 18,000 pedestrian crashes found. However, among vehicles with hood heights between 30 and 40 inches, a blunt, or more vertical, front end increases the risk to pedestrians.
