That bumper is eye level with me. He could have probably decapitated me if he reversed with enough determination.
It’s hard out there for small car people when everyone else is in an arms race to be as big as possible.

Yes. But the extra systemic problem those ratings don’t show/account for is that moving at same speed these needlessly heavy trucks also carry more momentum, have relatively very shitty brakes for their weight (and the fairly poor tyre quality with ‘design over function’ approach doesn’t help either).
What I’m saying is that if one of this (smoll pp) big trucks crashes into whatever your vehicle is will hurt a lot more compared if an (average pp) nornal car would have crashed into you at the same speed (more energy gets transferred into your mushy internals).
It’s more dangerous for everyone + they actually disregard safety advances bcs box shape.
