A tragic incident in Paris has reignited the debate over the safety of SUVs in urban areas.
On October 15, a 28-year-old cyclist named Paul was fatally struck by an SUV following an altercation with the driver.
The driver, who was with his daughter, allegedly hit Paul deliberately, leading to his arrest and an ongoing murder investigation.
This incident has prompted Ian Brossat, a Paris senator, to propose banning SUVs to protect vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians.
The tragedy has also sparked public outcry, with around 200 people gathering to honor Paul and call for safer cycling conditions.
The event highlights the growing tension between cyclists and motorists in Paris, where cycling has become increasingly popular.
