The fact that media deliberately scares people to get attention and therefore make money doesn't negate the fact at all that a modern Chevy Suburban has a 16-foot blind spot underneath it's stupidly large front end, which incidentally is about twice as long as the blind spot in front of a standard LTL semi truck.
Furthermore according to some quick googling, SUVs are between 21% and 29% of the fleet in the United States right now, and pickup trucks which have all the same issues are about 17%. So it's not "say 10%", it's between 38% and 46%. Which certainly lines up with what I see day to day during my time on the road.
And this:
> Given that more intelligent people breed less, the avg parent isn't as smart as the avg person. And we know how smart the average person is.
This is just gross, just all the way around. I'm not a parent and in fact am child-free, but this is offensive even to me. I really hope you're not in a career that requires empathy.
