[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Know what vehicle is really big and safe?

A public bus. Maybe people should try riding in those, if their main concern is safety.[/quote]

If only we had that option  :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

You do. You do have that option. I don't get the eye roll.

If you're primary concern is keeping your family safe, you should get rid of your car altogether, move near a bus stop, and use public transportation exclusively. It's much, much safer. Then you only have to worry about being hit by a car while walking to the bus stop, but other posters have explained that pedestrian deaths are just a very small percentage of vehicular deaths, so that risk is still smaller than strapping your children in SUVs where at any time you could be hit by a truck, bus, or a larger SUV.[/quote]

I don't have the option. The public transportation system in this country is abysmal. I can't afford to live in DC (and don't want to anyway). I like the peace and quiet of my neighborhood. I like the school my special needs child attends, I like my neighbors. I like that I can be on a hiking trail within 3 minutes. So I will live my life the way I want and I suggest you do the same.
