I live in Japan and I have driven trucks like this a lot. They are common work trucks. I also rented one a few years ago when I moved. They are much safer than American vehicles. First thing is they are lighter and smaller. Getting hit by a pebble going 60mph or a bowling ball going 60mph is much different. The driver is all the way to the front which means if someone or something is in front of the truck, they can see it. They have big vehicles here too. Kei cars are fine. #FuckCars
Tell me, where's the crunch zone in a Smart car? How about on a motorcycle? Have you ever been in a minivan? Have you seen how small the "crunch zone" is on one of those?
Not to mention if you get into an accident with a fucking SUV in any car that is not another SUV you're fucked. It's the SUVs that should be fucking banned. Not the cars that would be completely destroyed by them.
