> If you're actually following the stats you will see that vehicle size only accounted for 10% of the increase.

It's a paper that will make money automobile advertising.

Implicitly if there were any other single larger cause for the deaths then the article would be about that.

The sensible thing to do would be to carry on investigating the 90%, but in the meantime get on with saving the 200 to 400 people by removing largest factor - the _unnecessarily_ large vehicles - that are _known_ to be killing them.

"Implicitly if there were any other single larger cause for the deaths then the article would be about that."

Then show me explicitly what the breakdown is.

"the _unnecessarily_ large vehicles"

Define unnecessarily. Do I get to buy one because I'm tall, have a big family, haul stuff?
