There is no net safety increase with heavier vehicles. The safety advantage to the occupants of the heavier vehicle is offset by the disadvantage to the occupants of the smaller vehicle.

I really don’t give a rat’s behind about the stupid people willing to gamble on their smaller, plastic vehicle. I am only interested in how I fare in a collision.

I drive a Chevy 1 ton dually truck 454 with 4 speed Granny low & a 1979 Buick station wagon.

Paid for, cheaper insurance, and lower registrations.

Not worn out yet, either, Truck has over 348,000 miles on it & I put over 250,000 of those miles on it. Car has 214,000 miles.
