Not to mention that they are extremely wasteful and not good for the environment and our roads. If a small car and SUV went into a head collision the chance of survival of the passengers in the smaller car are much lower.
Bigger car = safer is exactly the kind of backwards thinking which causes so many people to unnecessarily buy big cars. The entire concept of Chelsea Tractors comes from middle-class parents thinking they need to do the school run in a tank so little Tarquin and Lilliput will be safe. We have Euro NCAP safety ratings for cars, judge the safety based on the actual tests!
Because maybe I want to relive my glory days as a youth with a toy projectile-thing and not go deaf because our laws require the gun be fucking loud as shit and big over here in murica. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ohh. You’re complaining you can’t own a less lethal weapon, I interpreted it as you couldn’t own a lethal weapon at all where you lived. I don’t understand why you’d want a lethal weapon at all, that’s insane to me.
Uh… The best case scenario is two smaller cars. Riding a bigger car to protect yourself is not only extremely selfish, but entirely counterproductive as you encourage other people to do the same. This is very much a tragedy of the commons situation.
And this is why i avoid roads whenever possible, god bless my city for having so many bike/pedestrian underpasses so we don’t have to even come close to the death boxes most of the time.
Thanks for demonstration how being a parent can actually make you a worse person. Your children, or OPs for that matter, deserve to be safe and secure only as much as anyone else’s, despite what your hormones may have convinced you.

That’s one of the reasons I prefer being in the big truck
This is why I drive a tank. Fuck other people, only I matter.
Once the shells come in I am firing at construction sites to keep housing prices high.
Plus you’ll own a weapon to protect yourself from other people’s Tanks too… we should all buy tanks, to protect ourselves.
That logic worked before somewhere.
It’s not the reason why I bought a truck. Just one of its benefits.
It’s funny how you come up with this imaginaty caricature of me in your head and then get angry at it for absolutely no reason.
This is the same logic Americans use with gun ownership and look how well that’s working out.
Hey, if I could own a welrod or even a goddamned slingshot without breaking the law here, I would.
Why?

which would you rather your children be transported in

which one would you rather have your kid cross the street in front of?
Not the one with significantly higher rollover fatalities, that’s for sure.
Just admit you’re scared to drive and stop driving.
Train, bike, bus, etc.
