Opening that video, American-style pickup trucks are about 40% more likely to kill a pedestrian 100% more likely to kill a child (the video argues that this mostly stems from the shape of the front). These cars also get into more crashes
Honestly, banning these things seems sensible when the only thing going for them for most buyers is seemingly an appreciation of their style
Yeah there is always a reason for a rule that makes sense, but there is also a price for making a new rule everytime something doesnt work.
