Okay, since clearly nobody clicked the link to read the information. LARGE CARS KILL MORE PEOPLE THAN SMALL CARS. Both for people in the car and the cars they hit. Look at the chart. The lower half of the chart (more deaths) is ruled by large vehicles. They are not safer.
“The numbers are expressed in fatalities per million cars, both for drivers of particular models and for the drivers of the cars they hit.”
