Current crop of SUV'S
Why do they call them SUV'S when then vast majority of them are glorified station wagons? To me a SUV is a truck based full frame vehicle. Got to love marketing.

But the higher percentage of smaller vehicles in a given number of vehicles the more room everybody has to miss the impact all together.
That's assuming they maintain the same amount of space as if they were larger vehicles.
The truth is that they will cram more of their little cars into the same space.
The best way to prevent accidents isn't to drive a smaller vehicle. The best way is to maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you regardless of size. Stop worrying about keeping that other car from moving into your lane in front of you and you will be a lot safer. Realizing that if you can keep the traffic moving past exits, rather than bottlejamming, by maintaining space to let others move over and exit, you will get to your destination faster and safer than if you block that space between you and the car in front of you.
