Big trucks and SUVs, especially those with flat front ends, aren’t just more intimidating to look at, they are genuinely deadlier for pedestrians, according to new research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
I had a neighbor deputy who investigated crash scenes about 15 years ago. He said the flat faced trucks and SUVs were killers. The best car for pedestrian survival was the 2003 style Honda Accord. That was the style that somewhat mimicked the Passat with sloping hood.
