6% of car drivers are cold blood animal killers, 89% of which are SUV drivers

ENG
Interesting experiment showing car drivers intentionally going on the road shoulder to kill by standing (fake) animals. Not surprisingly the majority of those are #SUV drivers

ITA
Interessante esperimento "scientifico" in cui si vedono automobilisti cambiare traiettoria per investire animali finiti sul lato della strada. La maggior parte guidano SUV

It'd be a shame if these fake animals were made out of solid sharp materials... Just sayin'

Concrete would be better. Inertia is a bitch.

Aren't SUVs and trucks the majority of vehicles on the road the begin with in North America

It's saying most of those who don't care about animals on the road drive SUVs, not that most SUV drivers don't care about animals.

But if the majority of people on the road are SUV drivers wouldn't it only make sense that the majority of drivers who don't care about animals are also SUV drivers

Ah, I get you ... yes that's a fair point. In Europe we don't have so many SUVs

È comunque abbastanza scientifico nella misura in cui si limiti a dire, in quel tratto di strada, quel giorno, questo è quanto rilevato.

Certo avrebbe potuto anche fornire, almeno, il numero totale di mezzi osservati (per ogni oggetto: animali e foglia)
In effetti, comunque, per capire quanto quel dato sulla prevalenza di SUV nel 6% evidenziato sia significativa, avrebbe fatto bene a esplicitare anche la proporzione dei SUV nel resto del campione.

Interesting video, but also 11 years old. Would be curious to see how it is now

I have yet to hit an animal while driving but it's probably coming. I'm gonna be so sad :(

I hit a deer last year after twenty years of uneventful driving. It was on a highway known for drunk drivers so I was hyper aware and my reaction couldn’t have been any faster, but those animals are so insanely fast. I had to go to therapy for that shit.

A friend of mine hit a deer and totalled his (compact sedan) car. My cousin swerved to dodge a deer, hit a tree and totalled the family pickup.

E allora il SUV non è pericoloso di per sé, ma è l'automobilista di SUV ad avere qualcosa che non va?

@rivoluzioneurbanamobilita
sì, effettivamente. Ora che la poni così, vedo un'analogia con il possesso d'armi
