75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are Why

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/07/17

The USA now have data to prove this: [Wayback/Archive] 75% More Pedestrians Have Been Killed Since 2009. Giant Trucks and SUVs Are Why

We knew bigger cars were killing more pedestrians; now there’s data to prove it.

They are not cars (like the EU currently regards them), but trucks that can go as fast as cars, but don’t have the extra safety measures that regular trucks have.

So when is the EU going to ban or heavily restrict these?
