MODERATORS
States seem to be trying their best to ban them last I checked in on kei trucks. They claim they're not safe enough yet hundred year old cars are still street legal and motorcycles exist just fine.
The smaller trucks would be a lot safer if they weren't sharing the road with trucks 3x their size.
The US is stuck in an arms race. With guns, and cars, and pretty much anything it seems.
"I'll be safe if I have the biggest gun"
"I'll be safe if I have the biggest car"
The safety of others doesn't matter. They just have to get bigger guns and bigger cars.
Obviously going the other way around would be unsafe.
