The dangers of larger, heavier vehicles to pedestrians and cyclists on our roads are well documented. Research published in the journal Traffic Injury Prevention found that cyclist injuries from crashes with SUVs were more severe than those from collisions with cars, especially concerning head injuries.
A previous study from the same publication concluded that SUVs remained disproportionately likely to injure or kill pedestrians compared to cars. Concern has also been raised about electric cars as these tend to be heavier than petrol and diesel cars due to the weight of the batteries.
