A recent study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that taller vehicles increase the risk of injury for pedestrians.
Crash data from the U.S. and Europe showed that Americans are more susceptible to tall vehicle-related injuries than Europeans.
Taller vehicles make it harder to see and react to pedestrians, and their impact in accidents can be more dangerous due to their design.
The study revealed that even a small increase in speed can significantly increase the risk of injury for pedestrians, highlighting the need for lower speed limits in areas with pedestrians.
