More than 150 car models too big for regular UK parking spaces - eviltoast

While this is mostly about parking issues, the part that stood out most to me in this is:

A study published in the Journal of Safety Research last year found that children were eight times more likely to die when struck by an SUV than those struck by a passenger car.

Eight times! To me, that’s insane. Even if it were 50% that would be very bad, but this is 700% more!

    I live in the UK, they absolutely do. I just told the story about my neighbour?

      Fair enough, I’ve never seen anyone push it that far over here in my experience.

        You’ll spot one soon, still rare, but they’re ridiculously oversized and absolutely pointless.
