nope it's SUVs

back in the day if a person got hit they'd roll up on the windshield and be relatively fine

now there's a 75% chance they're going under the wheels

plus people are driving around in vehicles that are twice as big as what they need

Probably...I see a lot of pedestrians glued to their phones even when crossing the street

Edit: SUVs are probably to blame too, yeah

Pedestrian deaths continue to decline across Europe, where I do believe they have smartphone technology these days.

CAFE standards cleaved the market into tiny deathtraps, and huge deathbringers.

I meant more along the lines of people using smartphones while they drive.

Again: this trend is not being seen in other countries with no less smartphone usage

Car manufacturers are to blame for making SUVs and trucks bigger and heavier each year. They need to pass legislation limiting the size of these behemoths.

Also there are a lot of places where pedestrian walkways and road crossings could be better

Tbf, a lot of American cities require a car to get around effectively unlike some of those countries.

Yeah, but that's no more true than it was 10 years ago

people are also impatient and morons when it comes to crossing the street

I had to stop in the middle of a 5 way intersection the other day because some idiots decided to jaywalk and the car in front of me stopped to wave them on. meanwhile Im sitting in the middle of 3 roads while 2 of them have a green light and mine is red

It's because of SUVs are getting bigger and bigger. Manufacturers are doing everything they can to make them safer for the people inside of the cars but the pedestrians they hit are at the complete mercy of physics.

More weight= harder mpact and slower stop times.
