Also bigger vehicles result in more dangerous pedestrian impacts isn’t the first point you were making and isn’t the point being discussed here.
Answer the question, where did you get the info about accidents being at an all time high? Where did you get the info that it’s at an all time high in proportion to mileage covered, number of cars on the road and increase in population?
You said it’s at an all time high for “both” gross number and in proportion, you must be able to provide a source if you’re so confident, right?
