I can't read the article, but I do know that some 7 people here close by have been ran over (most were killed) by big, overpowered SUV's and pickups. I don't know of any that have been ran over by underpowered sedans. This is in a town with a max speed limit of 25mph on all streets except the main drag, which is 35mph (and the 20mph school zone). One was killed in the 15mph town just north of here.

On of the problems with big vehicles is you won't stop for what you cannot see. This is why school buses have cross-over mirrors (halfmoon mirrors) in the front. These should be mandatory on any vehicle that you can't see a toddler in front of you.
