I’m sorry, their problem is that the massive trucks are somehow in danger because they weren’t designed to handle being hit by a vehicle less than half its size?

What a ridiculous statement.

That’s not what they are saying at all. They’re saying small vehicles aren’t even safe in crashes with other small vehicles, let alone with bigger vehicles.

They took a street legal Smart ForTwo…

Then crashed it into a little electric truck and a golf cart…

And they want stuff to be as safe as the Smart car.
