haha, they said "rice rocket"

There are plenty of other dangerous vehicles out there that are in far greater quantities than lifted trucks. I guess "lifted vehicles are the single most dangerous vehicle involved in fatal highway crashes" means that IF a lifted vehicle is involved, chances are it's that particular flying hunk of metal that will kill you. I'm not denying that a lifted truck is less safe, but that's a crappy use of the statistics there.

I wonder what the statistics are on fatal crashes involving "rice rockets" are. I have seen way more accidents involving those than trucks!

98% of people believe statistics are right 87% of the time...

They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time it works every time.

well, i'm not going to roanoke anytime soon with my jeep.

I also think its funny how they think a lifted truck say going 50mph is more dangerous than a "rice rocket" going 120mph, that makes a lot of sense.
