Please follow the link to comment in support of a proposed rule to require vehicles in the US to be designed with some pedestrian safety considerations. It will hopefully keep some obviously dangerous designs off of our roads.

Thanks. So it's more for the recent generations of tall flat SUVs and trucks. I've heard the injury stats on those have been pretty bad. I'm glad someone is trying to do something about it.

Those are the two developments in truck safety I've heard in the news this year, so I had a 50/50 chance, but I guessed the wrong one, lol.
