Anecdotally, it's not just the size of the cars that makes them dangerous, it's the driving style of the people that buy them. When I look at how people drive in my area (a smaller town in Canada), it's very often the people in the biggest trucks that are the ones tailgating, speeding, crossing double lines to pass on a dangerous section, etc etc. I've never understood this. If anything, driving such an enormous car would make me extra careful.
