I hate to tell you this, but the idea that SUVs are safer in accident situations is erroneous. I happen to be GOP, and worked for a very large car insurance company for 3 years. Simply put, in any accident occurring over the very lowest of speeds, SUV's are the worst thing you want to be in - aside from a motorcycle. They cannot break well, the cannot steer well, and they have very high centers of gravity (they flip). Anyone who packs their kids into an SUV thinking they are "safer" suffers from some serious misconceptions. The sad joke of the matter is that the car companies themselves promulgated the misconceptions, for profit reasons. First, profit margins on SUVs are almost completely supporting our three major car companies profits. Second, SUVs cost quite a bit more to fix than a standard car after an accident - they tend to suffer more damage (they are super crush-zone oriented vehicles). Third, the weight of the vehicles produces higher repair costs. SO the company makes more money when you buy it, makes more money keeping it running, and makes more money when you wreck it (or someone wrecks it for you).This is why so many car companies spend so much advertising their SUVs and their "Safety Ratings". Their profits would be laughable without strong SUV sales.
In this day and age, I cannot see how some illusory "safety" that comes with an SUV merits the WASTE it represents - and let's not forget who's gets our oil money.
If you own an SUV, it is not fair because the welfare recipient who love RED DAVIS cannot afford one, thus you're SUV must be taken away from you and you must be forced to drive something similar to the welfare recip.
