They are doing a segment right now about how Mini-Cars are unsafe. They had a sleazy looking insurance guy talking about how if they are hit from behind they will be crushed because of all the bigger cars. CNN said there is a double chance of being killed in a serious accident.
This made me recall a burning question I have had since the advent of SUVs. That is, why has there not been a trial lawyer clever or tough enough to try to make a case that an SUV is a danger to "normal" sized cars because of its higher bumper which can penetrate right into a standard-sized cars interior in a side-impact or otherwise undermine the safety device that is commonly known as the "bumper"?
