Fortnine just did a video reviewing these results, and illustrating the practical issues with high grills.

The problem is worst for small children, that the driver can't see because of the tall hood. Funny enough the same mostly right wing people who are anti abortion, are also the people most likely to drive these cars.
So in their mind, an abortion to save the mother is immoral, but driving a car that increase the risk of accidentally killing a child is not?

Anti-abortion is just anti-women. If pro-lifers cared even a little about children there's literally dozens of things they could do to ensure children are cared for.

For instance: free meals in public schools.

They're also more likely to kill people in other cars as well.

They're here in Australia now. Something to do with us pickup trucks having a lower tax for the manufacturers, so they tell us we need them.

So this means insurance companies start lowering premiums for those smaller low hood vehicles right?

[–] theletterw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I drive a little ol beetle and being next to those behemoths and trying to see around them is… scary.

[–] Neato@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Trucks are commercial vehicles. The vast, vast majority of the US doesn't need a truck on a daily basis. And when they do, it's often because of their job, even if self-employed. In almost all cases pick-up trucks should be classed, and taxed, as commercial vehicles. And the exceptions have strict size restrictions.

If you need to haul some wood, gravel or other such semi-regularly, there's plenty of places to rent them.

I assume anyone driving one of these is a douchebag until proven otherwise

I drive trucks for a living, my freightliner has better forward visibility than my friends ram 2500. At least semi's slant the damn hood downwards, modern pickup hoods are nearly level. Ffs they put a forward facing camera on the bronco

I have an older 4wd Toyota Tacoma and I love it but I'd happily trade it for an AWD Ute. They should bring those back to the US with a usable bed, less Baja more Brat.

I'd argue that cellphones are more responsible for pedestrian death. Both in the hands of pedestrians and drivers.

[–] silence7 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That shouldn't show large differences by vehicle type, which is what is happening.
