NHSA: Teens Can't Handle SUVs

- Washington Times

Washington, DC, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- A U.S. traffic safety group says teenage drivers are often incapable of driving sport utility vehicles safely, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.

The National Highway Safety Administration said that 49 people aged 15 to 20 died in SUV and pickup truck accidents in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia last year.

The group says SUVs have a higher center of gravity and are harder to control in an emergency, which makes inexperienced drivers more likely than others to end up as statistics.


I can think of another large demographic that cannot control SUVs too. I'll let me readers infer as to which I mean.

2 Age doesn't play into the equation I was refering to. It doesn't matter what age this demographic is, they still can't drive an SUV. Come to think of it, they can't drive anything that's not a golf ball.
