Active travel campaigners call for higher taxes on “supersized” SUVs t claiming they are more dangerous to cyclists and pedestrians

Claiming? I show you two rocks and one is twice the size of the other, which would be the worse rock to be hit with?

Living in a place with poorly designed or even nonexistent pedestrian infrastructure and more of these big beastly machines than more sensible vehicles, I can tell you they are a fucking menace. Worst part is that the people driving the death machines pay far less attention to their surroundings than the drivers in the smaller cars. If you let these things take over, you'll regret it.
