We need to stop these SUVs and "light" trucks from killing us. They're a waste of car parts, terrible for the environment, and are provably unsafe. They make it impossible to drive a normal, reasonable car without fear of being crushed to death by these death machines, and they're responsible for an arms race which is creating continuously bigger cars which are more threatening to pedestrians. This cannot continue.
