I am curious how the increase in deaths compares with the rate of pedestrian accidents overall. Are accidents becoming more deadly?
The changes in safety regulations have pushed these big flat front ends as being “safer” for pedestrian accidents, which is why almost every vehicle these days has the same big flat front end. It really seems to me like it would have to have the opposite effect, pushing you under the vehicle and trampling you rather than relatively more safely throwing you over.
- hbrav 4y agoWait, you mean like the big 'aggressive' looking hoods on newer SUVs and pickups? I thought they were widely agreed to be dangerous to pedestrians, but drivers like them so car manufacturers make them. If you have something claiming they're safer I'd really be interested to see it. Can you link?
