New research by the Times shows that thousands of fatal crashes involving pedestrians could have been avoided with lower hood heights and improved visibility.
Despite continued incremental improvements to road infrastructure, pedestrian deaths are spiking, and it’s all because of a narrow new class of vehicles.
Define “unsafe vehicle”
I’d defer to someone with more expertise, but I’d guess a lot of SUVs and trucks are going to be disqualified.
While I’m waving this low grade magic wand, maybe require a special license for SUVs or something.
Some of the worst drivers I’ve encountered have a CDL.
I believe it. But adding that barrier would mean some bad drivers wouldn’t bother, and they’d get a smaller, safer, car instead.
