Most SUVs are driven by one person going to work on dry pavement. Most do

Actually, the safety aspect is not suspect. It's fairly well accepted
that SUVs are safer because there are so many SUVs on the road. If you
remove SUVs from the equation then pretty much all other, smaller,
vehicles sudden become much, much safer. Last I read, the roads would be
much safer if it were not for SUVs.

In otherwords, driving an SUV addresses the safety problem created by
those that drive SUVs. Go figure...
