If you've listened to Rush? The guy has problems with facts...or maybe he doesn't, they cook well for him.

Most studies of any accident don't mention the driver. That is assumed to be a constant, but it has been shown to be false in the case of SUVs. SUV drivers are less likely than the average population to care about the drivers of other vehicles (in other words, they are more self-centered). The statistics that are of interest with SUVs is not necessarily the death rate to people struck, but the fact that SUV death rates are higher than for passenger cars. Despite the greater mass, most SUVs are more dangerous than cars. That has nothing to do with the drivers, and everything to do with physics. If you drive an SUV thinking that it'll keep you safe, the current NHTSA studies must be somewhat alarming...oops, my 'safe' vehicle is more dangerous to me than a good sedan.
