Title: Not Dangerous
Post by: BrumLee on February 13, 2007, 21:05:12: MPVs and 4x4s are safer for drivers and passengers
A Transport Research Laboratory report shows drivers and passengers of 4x4s and MPVs are five times less likely to be killed or seriously injured than those in other types of car. The findings contradict recent and confused press reports on 4x4 and MPV performance in collisions with crash barriers.
More from Esther Martin-Ortega on +44 (0)2 073 449 264 or emartin-ortega@smmt.co.uk

Next the truth will come out that the majority of 4x4's on the road are economical when taking all factors into consideration :wink: :roll:
