The larger the vehicle, the greater the blind spots. A pedestrian is more likely to get caught in an SUV’s blind spot as compared with a small sports car. This can have deadly consequences if the SUV driver does not see the pedestrian, particularly if the SUV is moving at a high speed. In addition, SUVs have a higher center of gravity, which means that if the vehicle hits a pedestrian, he or she will be hit in the chest or head, rather than the legs, which often causes more catastrophic injuries.
