Why are there good odds that a smaller car is traveling faster? Pickup trucks and SUVs don’t noticeably lag behind traffic or travel slowly in my experience. The scenario I was discussing is when there isn’t a bollard but some other barrier specifically designed to stop a vehicle. A higher center of gravity and larger wheels will certainly help get over many obstacles that would otherwise stop a smart car. If you had to bet which car was more likely to be deflected by a curb strike and which would not, I have a hard time believing you would put your money on a truck vs a small car.
