SUV is safer? Sometimes. But you are more likely...

..to involve into an accident because of the high gravity center and heavy weight making the SUV hard to control and stop in an emergency. And keep your tires in good condition all the time. Tire blowout at highway speed sometimes is deadly to the people in a SUV. The chance of rollover is many times higher than that of a regular sedan. Rollover at highway speed with the heavy weight of the SUV almost means death for certain. So drive carefully. Be safe, even in a SUV.
