Video is full of bias focused studies that is dated and limited. Example being saying that just as many trucks and suvs get stuck in the snow as cars in bad weather doesn’t take into account that there are a higher amount of trucks and SUVs on the roads in bad conditions because they handle said conditions better. Or that many trucks and SUVs depending on those conditions may not be any better suited for conditions than a car is. Such as a rwd truck and rwd car are going to perform much the same in wet conditions and variances will be in relation to the actual tire, not the vehicle itself. In which case it isn’t inherently worse than a sedan at all in that aspect.
Safety as it pertains to pedestrians is accurate I suppose. Makes sense to a reasonable degree. But safety as a driver is also biased because pointing out that the rollover death rate is higher without accounting for the higher threshold of force required to rollover compared to a car that would have simply crumpled (also causing death) from that same impact but just not rolling over when it happens is misleading. Death still occurs, it just doesn’t result in a rollover because the car is likely ripped in half. Which is something we see much more of in cars vs trucks but that isn’t something that’s mentioned in this set of information. So there are more sedans that get ripped in half causing death than trucks that roll over from similar impact causing deaths but the talking point is “trucks have more rollover deaths”.
Thats why I pay no mind to studies done no matter the topic because it’s all done with an objective behind it.
If people are that concerned then get a Volvo because every other car is basically the same at this point (except fire hazards with EVs)
