More than 150 car models too big for regular UK parking spaces

While this is mostly about parking issues, the part that stood out most to me in this is:

A study published in the Journal of Safety Research last year found that children were eight times more likely to die when struck by an SUV than those struck by a passenger car.

Eight times! To me, that's insane. Even if it were 50% that would be very bad, but this is 700% more!
