You need to look at the demographics of the drivers. Younger, inexperienced drivers drive smaller cars.

Aren't there a couple of feedback loops there?
Younger/inexperienced drivers buy affordable cars, which are affordable because they are [perceived as] less safe.
Older drivers, of people with the income to make a choice who care about perception, buy cars that are [perceived as] more safe.
