SUVs and pickups make the roads less safe for car occupants, pedestrians and cyclists – Belgian study In recent years, cars have become heavier, taller and more powerful. A new study from the VIAS Institute in Belgium shows how this is impacting injuries and deaths, according to real-world data.

Let's reflect on this study again & the risks of heavier cars to people in Ireland & across Europe. While speed is still the biggest factor, these heavy polluting giants increase the risk of death to other drivers & pedestrians. We need to tax heavy vehicles #irishroads #irl
