The True Costs of S.U.V.'s

TRAFFIC fatalities in the United States fell steadily from 54,600 in 1972 to
34,900 in 1992. But then they started to rise again, and by 2002 there were
38,300 traffic deaths a year.
Our performance compared with other countries has also deteriorated. America's
ranking has fallen from first to ninth over the last 30 years, with Australia,
Britain and Canada all having better records.
