More irresponsible than Nissan Altima or Dodge Ram owners isn't easy

Altima owners

...This is a stereotype I've never heard before.

Most deadly to driver is not the same thing as most deadly. SUVs are usually extremely deadly to pedestrians and other road users.

As an SUV driver in Appalachia, I’ve mostly only injured pedestrians.

Anecdotal, I know. I’ve only killed 2 people. What’s the average?

Now I won’t sleep for fear of jinxing myself.

Being human is stupid.
