IIHS, NHTSA and ETSC already established that trucks and SUVs are responsible for a huge hike in the number of pedestrian fatalities over the past decade. Unless used professionally, they ought to be banned from residential areas. To begin with in Europe. Left: that’s a Triumph roadster in between the trucks.

IMO, this is an indication that filling up (gasoline or diesel) in the U.S. is still very cheap if you can afford those gas-guzzlers. Well actually it is 50–70 percent cheaper than it is in the EU. Left: people lining up in their trucks and SUVs at the local foodbank.
