The Reason Why Are Trucks Getting Bigger
"Bigger trucks pose a greater hazard to pedestrians and smaller vehicles"<p>It's an arms race.<p>I used to live near a couple who were both doctors in the ER and they both drive the biggest trucks that they could find because they saw that people in large trucks tended to be fare better in accidents.<p>I have a small sedan for myself and a smallish SUV for my wife and kids. I feel pressure to upgrade both to something larger.
