I'm a motorcycle commuter on So. Cal freeways. I thru the crowd and can see what causes congestion. The average following distant behind a SUV is 2-3 times further then when a car follows a car. Vehicles also tend to be much more unpredictable behind SUV's. This includes other SUV's. I see a lot of erratic lane changes and brake slamming. The issue is that large SUV decrease visibility so much the vehicles behind them want to pass or can't tell what traffic is doing.
Thank you for the info it is very interesting. However I must offer the advice that you not try and do the entire lecture in one take. Break it up and add a little performance to you voice. Statements you make deserve a little more dramatic presentation IMO. Again good work on all the info. The pictures we've seen a million of them many way more dramatic that's the life of a biker.
Thank you! This is the info that needs to get out in the media. I'm tired of the rising fatality rate being blamed on riders and law enforcement unfairly targeting riders.
was that michael jackson narrating?

Moral of the story: If you want to live, don't wreck into an LTV.
Moral of the story, part II: The occupant of the LTV is safer than the idiot that crashed into it. Drive an LTV.

its unlikely to make it over any car roof, your upper body will stay level and your legs will pitch you forward, more speed less hight to.
Plus racing "highsides" are from going sideways.
