    They are safer to pedestrians because they tend to have lower and more curved hoods (making impact at low speeds less dangerous) and they also give better visibility to the driver.

      Thank you. For some reason our entire society thinks “safety” only applies to the people inside of the vehicle.

      It’s a testament to our very individualized society under capitalism. It’s basing all values on a individuals consumption choices. Rather than the safety and security of society as a whole.

      Sadly, carrying around a brick above your head is still the only “consumer” choice pedestrians have for safety.
