That would be effective against most commuter cars in in the USA. But then there's the trucks they make now where anyone directly in front of it is invisible. Those 6 inches would do nothing with the asshats that drive those distracted.

Yeah you're right, those trucks are stupidly big. I've seen a few of the smaller variants in Sweden recently (and they enrage me to the point of plotting murder), but they're nowhere near an F-150.
