The proliferation of SUVs increases the danger on the road
New research conducted by IIHS shows that the rapid growth of large vehicles in recent years can make the occupants safer, but the opposite is true for people outside.
IIHS – the organization in charge of crash testing for new cars in North America (similar to Euro NCAP in Europe or ASEAN NCAP in Southeast Asia) has recently published a new study around accidents, specifically It could be an accident when the car turns a corner.
Before this study was published, IIHS also collected data to confirm SUV are more likely to cause fatal crashes than cars because of their size and weight.
The data they collected this time revolved around the most common type of accident, a car collision with a person. Large vehicles such as SUVs, vans or pickups have a much higher fatality rate for collisions when cornering on the left than small cars, specifically with twice the rate for SUVs. 3 times for van/minivan and almost 4 times for pickup.
The fatality rate for right-hand cornering is significantly lower, but the fatality rate for pickup trucks and SUVs is still 89 and 63 percent higher than sedans, respectively.
According to IIHS, the size, design of large vehicles and their A-pillars (often also large) cause drivers to often partially obscure their vision when cornering, leading to an increased likelihood of causing an accident. Not only the fatal accident rate, but the overall cornering accident rate of large cars is also superior to small cars from 23 (pickup) to 42% (SUV), but only when cornering. left while the parameters in the opposite direction are equal.
