How much of this could be explained by saying that people who make poor decisions are more likely to buy larger vehicles, and then continue to make poor decisions while driving? *Please ignore my current vehicle*

Personally I think I drive most aggressively in smaller cars, then more defensive as braking distance increases. However, in even smaller vehicles, I found I had a hard time enjoying riding motorcycles on the street, because everyone is trying to kill you.
