Also most likely to have an accident preceded by the words "hold my beer"?
hehe
That’s what I thought when I first saw it on the list. Also most likely to have the body returned to its home country.
lol - what I was thinking too. There’s many factors, other than the vehicle, that will impact these numbers. I’m sure SUV vs small car will have a common outcome, the same as Semi vs. SUV. So while an SUV is technically safer than a small car the death rates in small cars would be less if we didn’t have SUV’s (not advocating that!).
Different vehicles attract different types of drivers. The type of driver that buys a BMW M3 is often driving differently than somebody owning a minivan.
It would be interesting to see deaths broken down by gender, at fault, DWI, angle of impact, price point, etc..
...there’s certainly some stereotypes that come to mind!
As the owner of a 2015 one, I would argue that statement. I always stop when I ask someone to hold my beer.
Don't know if it is still true, but an insurance underwriter told me that red vehicles got into higher accident rates for their number than any other color and rates were quoted accordingly.
It is not that red is an unsafe color. It is actually safer due to higher visibility. But drivers who liked red also took more chances.
Another interesting thing he told me was that a lime florescent green was actually the most visible color. School bus yellow rated a distant second.
