Fascinating data analysis from the Economist looking at 7.5m US car crashes The chart below shows likelihood of you dying in a car crash by weight of your car (grey line) and weight of other car (red line) So it’s in our own self interest to get a heavier car (slight reduction in chance of our own death) but definitely not in society’s (big increase in chance other driver dies if our car gets heavier) Potential case for additional tax for cars over 4000lbs (from that point on there’s little extra safety for the driver but a lot of risk for others)
