    Most deadly to driver is not the same thing as most deadly. SUVs are usually extremely deadly to pedestrians and other road users.

      As an SUV driver in Appalachia, I’ve mostly only injured pedestrians.

      Anecdotal, I know. I’ve only killed 2 people. What’s the average?

      Now I won’t sleep for fear of jinxing myself.

      Being human is stupid.

        Am I being wooshed, and if no, wtf? When did killing even one person become an “only” occurrence?
