The nanny state loves to exaggerate 🙄.

Passenger cars and light trucks (vans, pickups, and sport utility vehicles) accounted for 46.1% and 39.1%, respectively, of the 4875 deaths, with the remainder split among motorcycles, buses, and heavy trucks.

7% delta. The really aren’t that much more dangerous than cars.

Large trucks in this instance are things like 18-wheelers, not trucks like the Ford F-150 or Dodge Ram.

👌👍 let me know when you find that recent data. This is the often stated report for decades due to the lack of research. I’m quite confident you won’t find contradictory data in modern study, but if you do I’m 100% open to it.

What I find particularly funny is you just assume the slight increase in mass is going to make a larger impact than backup cameras front bumper cameras, and pedestrian avoidance systems (typically the most cited as dengerous due to blind spots) in addition to modern driving aids and a lower center of gravity from that generation…

It’s quite an assumption.
