"Analysis has found drivers in the tallest cars could not see children as old as nine when they were directly in front of the vehicle."

In the US It would be 50% of the population, with those stupid GMC, Ford, and Ram designs. Solution, tall hats. Bring back the stovepipe hat, but make it high-vis.

Solution 1: Add a height limit for cars within 2 miles of a school. Solution 2: Require a commercial vehicle license for big SUVs and trucks. Solution 3: Ban the sell of personal vehicles above a specific height or weight.

Should specify its tallest car bonnets. I know there's a similar problem at the opposite extreme, in sports cars where the driver is much lower to the ground than a normal car, but they have this big wide bonnet in front of them that can hide children from view.

And thinking about it... I wonder if anyone has looked at reversing. Rather than kids in front that's where my main worry is with big cars and from what I've seen of sports cars its even worse there. You can see hardly anything without the camera.

We need to outlaw the vehicles. That's the solution.

Funny how the other week we also had a lot of news report indicating increase in deaths on roads, which (rightly) focused on older drivers sight, but also didn’t make the link to rise in number of these death machines

This is extra terrifying for petite kids. My kid is the size of a 50th percentile kid 2 full years younger than her. So she will be in middle school before she’s visible to drivers of the biggest of these monstrosities. And people wonder why I’m overprotective about her walking alone!
