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

MODERATORS
Me and my knee-high Miata are hyped!
It actually goes up because all the giant cars can squish it making death / injury more likely.
Sadly this will be the case and I fucking hate it
not if it's liability
A dead pedestrian is cheaper than an injured pedestrian
…right?…
I assume anyone driving one of these is a douchebag until proven otherwise
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?
I drive a little ol beetle and being next to those behemoths and trying to see around them is… scary.
My boss just bought a brand new Tacoma and sitting on my FZ6R or Shadow in the parking space next to it I literally cannot see over his door sills.
I parked my 90's Silverado nose-to-nose with his truck the other day and the top of my hood is like 18" lower than his, despite my truck having more ground clearance, a bigger engine, and a larger bed. It's baffling.
I just got a used Takoma and I hate the hood hieght for exactly this reason. I don't need to feel tall, I need to SEE things in front of me.
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.
kill that shit in the laws before it infects the country!
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.
Fortnine just did a video reviewing these results, and illustrating the practical issues with high grills.
I'd argue that cellphones are more responsible for pedestrian death. Both in the hands of pedestrians and drivers.
you would argue a red herring, then
cry more while looking at your phone
get ratioed and seethe
go back to 4chan.
who is this 4chan?
That shouldn't show large differences by vehicle type, which is what is happening.
Ok.
