Abstract

This study examined vehicle "aggressiveness" defined as the tendency of a vehicle to inflict damage or occupant injury when striking other vehicles. Previous analyses of data on crash fatalities and injuries revealed that passenger car occupants were more likely to suffer severe injury if the striking vehicle was a light truck rather than another passenger car. Thus, light trucks seemed to be more "aggressive" than cars.
