Oh sure, but A LOT of people don’t have to worry about that. I go from my house directly the highway for 1 hour before I get to my job. I’d rather be safer on the highway for my 2+ hours of commuting a day than the off chance some random is walking on the highway where he shouldn’t.
I’m close to 2m tall, and the hoods of the trucks I walk by on my way to work are up to my shoulders, I think things like size aren’t really helping. Naturally, maybe 1 of every 10 trucks this size appear to actually be for work.
I think a lot of the modern safety improvements are great, but just making every vehicle gigantic is doing a lot of harm.
Agreed. And having automated controls for breaking would be a magnificent leap forward. Unless the government steps in to slow down those products there isn’t anything to be done.
You can see reform starting in the form of the “Carolina squat” being outlawed in a lot of states to help alleviate some of that pain.
I already think that stock F450s and Ram 3500s shouldn’t be road legal, let alone the ones around here with “normal” lift kits.
I’ve never seen a truck with a proud stance like that, that’s disgusting.

Literally everyone should worry about that.
Does anybody drop off their children at school? Do they cross the street? Do they travel?
Pedestrian hostile cars are an everybody issue.
Come on. Yes I agree with you but obviously you know that there is nuance to that issue just as others. We aren’t talking about gun control.
I don’t really think you’ve thought about it if you can write that out… Those both are basically equivalent. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/injury.htm
Wow. Not often does someone change my view on the Internet through a comment section but damn those are pretty close in reprtings. I stand corrected.
