A new report from Transport & Environment advocates for implementing a height limit of 85cm on car bonnets in response to rising SUV sales and their associated risks to children. The average bonnet height of new vehicles in the UK, EU, and Norway has increased significantly, coinciding with a notable rise in SUV registrations. The report highlights how taller vehicles can endanger children's safety and calls for manufacturers to adapt to these new regulations by 2035, emphasizing the need for enhanced road safety measures for vulnerable pedestrians.
The increase in SUV sales, particularly in the UK, has contributed to the rise in car bonnet heights, which poses significant danger to children in accidents.
Transport & Environment's report suggests a proposal for a height limit on car bonnets to improve road safety for vulnerable pedestrians, especially children.
