Re: Road safety experts propose levy on large SUVs in city to curb rising Victorian road deaths

Having seen some of the damage done by roos, I'd say roo bars have a useful function in the rural areas.
Going back to SUVs in the city, I've been driving the folk's Kia Sorrento SUV for the past month, whilst waiting for my sedan to have its timing job done. Whilst the SUV is comfortable and gives a better range of view up front, there are a lot of blind spots back of the front windows. Would be interesting to see data on cause of road injuries and fatalities around the "city", and how many had blind spots contributing to it.
