I Need A Big Car For Safety

A perfect example of the need for regulatory intervention. Behind the paywall, but this is the punchline:
The fatality rate is roughly seven times higher when colliding with a heavy pickup truck than with a compact car. As the weight of your car increases, the risk of killing others increases dramatically.

For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles.
End the arms race.
