Got anything from anywhere other than the US where this problem solely exists…? Because your local stats mean nothing in a global conversation.
Sure thing bud. Also, how far are you going to move the goalposts?
https://www.polisnetwork.eu/news/size-matters-polis-urges-keep-large-and-unsafe-vehicles-off-europes-streets/
I followed every hyperlink, and there’s no stats.
EU hasn’t had an increase in pedestrian deaths like the US has, where’s the stats…?
In fact, the hyperlink that alludes it should be about stats, just goes to a LinkedIn type page for the person they are talking about…. What do you think that op Ed would be proving here?
this isn't a global conversation? At least right now it isn't this is entirely localized to the US because the US has the most of these large vehicles lmao
Canada… Mexico… Australia…
Your ignorance is showing.
i almost mentioned australia, but australia is just now getting an influx of these trucks, they're becoming more popular.
Mexico, well uh, mexico has cartels, so i feel like that's completely redundant and not worth mentioning, the statistics you could even gather from mexico are probably more significantly swayed by the existence of the cartels than they are from the increase in danger of the truck tbh.
Mexico is also a completely different place, so i would have to research into mexico specifically to know more about it and how it would be a problem.
unfortunately for you i live in america and do go outside, so i have a rather reliable viewpoint there. And that's what im talking about.
as for canada, canada has a lot of logging and oil industry so it's probably related to that, most of the populated parts of canada are coast line, the norther border and farther north are generally sparse and has a considerably lower population than most of the US. It's just a little bit different from the US in most regards that would make comparing the data directly much harder.
Seems like you might have more ignorance than me, considering you forgot the entire rest of the world, where as you literally just referenced the entirety of "north america" maybe you're just american pilled, but north america is not global, it's north america.
