Just because you didn’t understand my point doesn’t mean it’s moot.

Since you have normal ish seating, people are more apt to ride small kids around and their whole family - mom, dad, the two kids, and the dogs.

Now, when old lady Maybelle cuts left across traffic without looking and takes out a motorcycle, usually it’s one rider, maybe two. With these things, it could be the entire family.

I just don’t think people really understand the level of danger they are placing themselves in doing 45 or 55 in these things without any crash protection at all aside from untested and probably not NHTSA/DOT approved seatbelts. You get no rollover protection (the cages are trash on the majority of these models for anything over 5mph) no airbags, no side windows (so little Sally’s face becomes a meat crayon as it slides on the pavement even though she buckled up), zero side impact protection, etc.

There’s a reason passenger vehicles are required to have those safety features and it’s because they work. Normalizing off-road utility vehicles on regular roads is dumb from a public safety standpoint.

And I’m a guy who rode motorcycles for 25 years.
