Abstract

This paper shows that answers to three related questions on the relationship between car size and safety increase our basic knowledge about driver behavior. The three related questions are: 1) Given a car crash, how does the likelihood that the driver is killer depend on the size of the car? 2) How does the probability of a car being involved in a crash depend on its size? How does the number of driver fatalities per car per year depend on car size?
