Less crude than banning SUVs would be requiring vehicles to pass pedestrian safety standards in addition to vehicle occupant safety standards in a crash.

IIRC in the US we only really test safety for people inside the car, not outside.

Well yeah but that would require giving up SUVs and trucks altogether and bring calls of socialism because Europe already does that.
