THE LABEL

Warning Label posted:

It means you understand and accept the risks associated with driving an SUV. You knowingly and willingly
expose yourself and your family to these additional risks. This label will be used against you in court if you decide to sue the
manufacturer. It can also be used against you in court as evidence that an accident was your fault.

"Dear FRONTLINE,

In your program what haunted me most was the images of large vehicles crushing smaller ones. Like, that's a selling point for big cars?

Wednesday 4:35pm, Nancy looks down to change a CD track. She looks up and Whoa! Stupid skateboarder rolls into the street. Her reaction is quick and she misses the kid, but her Navigator leans and loses stability as she struggles with the wheel and BAM! Accidents happen, could be anyone’s fault, but because people died in the Civic she hit, the moment just before impact will be thoroughly dissected. Was she speeding or breaking any laws at 4:35? How many glasses of wine did she really drink at that lunch meeting?

Let’s say she was a perfect citizen at 4:35pm. She no longer has to deal with passing the victim’s family members at the courthouse and she finally gets to go home and quietly live with herself. Although she rarely leaves home anymore, Nancy becomes a statistic favoring big cars."
