I got a lot of push-back on a comment I made here about how bigger trucks/suvs are the primary cause the increasing pedestrian death-rate in America so apparently more people need to see this video.

The number of people in these comments who didn’t watch the video is astounding. He literally meant the entire world because in the last few minutes of the video he talks about how things are also spiraling out of control in Europe:

Regardless, looking at the best selling SUV models worldwide in 2021 they’re made by the Japanese, Germans, and South Koreans, so no, it’s not “stupid Americans” killing us 🙄

It's 50% stupid Americans killing us.

I guess that's a point - however, Americans are the leaders for having the BIGGEST cars and possibly the thirstiest guzzlers.

I do think the BIG CAR trend is probably more related to marketing and toxic masculinity.
