      Are you safe walking down the street? A @freep and USA TODAY Network investigation found that the SUV revolution is the most likely cause of escalating pedestrian deaths nationwide, which are up 46 percent since 2009. https://usat.ly/2Nd0Ib8 pic.twitter.com/irOJHQr2oT

      SUVs are bigger, may run you over after striking you and are more likely to kill you. You have a better chance of surviving a hit from a sedan due to size.pic.twitter.com/tKQR6OJtEK

          Size and profile are not the only vehicle factors involved in the increased fatalities. Power also increased. And speed can clearly kill.pic.twitter.com/5zpEH3Y1oJ

          The rising tide of pedestrian deaths is primarily an urban plague that kills minorities at a disproportionate rate.pic.twitter.com/proZAgDoI1

          How can cities protect their inhabitants? By reducing speeds, breaking up arterial roadways, adding midblock crossings, and cracking down on texting while driving.pic.twitter.com/PkI2og7BVS

          I don't like off-road vehicles or whatever such cars are called. It seems like a taste for thugs exclusively.

          But isn't it safer to be in a SUV from the perspective of those inside the car?

          BAN SUVS! What's the point of this fear mongering nonsense? Protip: Look both ways before crossing the street.

          Amazing. What if I get hit by a bus? Is it even harder to survive? How about an 18-wheeler? In other news, they sky is blue and grass is green.
