KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE AND UNCRUSHED

Two-tonne SUVs are lethal, high-speed weapons on our rural roads.

The extra weight and higher profile of these enlarged cars make collisions with pedestrians, cyclists and other car users much more deadly, especially for children.

Recent research has also suggested that larger cars (SUVs) are a leading driver of rising pedestrian fatalities in the USA, where the growth in SUV numbers began earlier than in the UK.

This is the future we face - but we can still choose.

The August rush of holidaymakers is worse this year with so many more wealthy Londoners bringing their #SUV with them.

These vehicles are simply too big for Cornwall's historic harbour towns and country lanes. Image
Compared to ordinary cars, SUVs are more polluting, more deadly, and more costly to run.

The only winners from these cars are the corporations selling them.

A first step towards removing the social acceptability of these antisocial vehicles is to ban their advertisement. Image
