This thread reads like a click bait headline...
Regarding pedestrian / auto deaths:
Per the GHSA website (nonprofit focused on reducing pedestrian traffic fatalities):
* Alcohol impairment by the driver and/or pedestrian is reported in nearly half of traffic crashes that resulted in a pedestrian fatality.
* Although passenger cars are the largest category of vehicles in fatal pedestrian crashes, over the past decade the number of pedestrian deaths in crashes involving sport utility vehicles (SUVs) increased at a faster rate – 69% – than deaths in crashes involving passenger cars, which increased by 46%.
.
So alcohol and cars are the largest percentage root cause.
Point 2 mentions percent of SUVs related are on the increase.
This is an expected result since SUVs as a percentage of vehicles on the road has been on the increase.
.
Data indicates root cause by far is stopping drunk pedestrians and drunk drivers, which would eliminate 50% of the 6700 pedestrian deaths in 2020.
.
Bottom line: Drive sober no matter what vehicle you are driving...and look out for drunk pedestrians...
