Small vehicles are much more dangerous than big SUVs and trucks. Chances of passengers being killed in small vehicles much higher.
Sure the green energy people want to get the big gas guzzlers off the road. Take away our big SUV's and Trucks. But eliminating gas powered vehicles isn't the only focus.
I've thought about turning in my trucks for smaller SUVs but then how do I tow my trailers and stuff. Small vehicles don't have the towing capability. So I'll have to stick with the people killers for now and feel safer although maybe with a tinge of guilt for driving the big vehicles.
