One thought on “Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier”

1. You’re right to point out the growing trend of SUVs and large utes on Australian roads. While these vehicles often provide a sense of safety and space for drivers and passengers, the reality is that their larger size and weight can pose significant risks to other road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists. Studies have shown that heavier vehicles can cause more severe injuries in collisions, and their bulk can make visibility more challenging, leading to accidents.

   It’s essential for us to consider the broader implications of our vehicle choices. Encouraging smaller, safer cars and promoting public transport and cycling could help create a safer road environment for everyone. Additionally, raising awareness about the dangers of larger vehicles could lead to more informed decisions among consumers. Ultimately, while personal preference plays a role, we need to balance it with the collective responsibility for road safety.
