Car Stuff

Not really about cars, but this would set precedent for a potential right to repair debate surrounding cars when the time comes.

And of course, we (Colorado) are the ones to start the trend.

I agree, smaller cars are better. That’s a reason why I drive a Japanese station wagon.

The one thing that I’d say I disagree with in that is the final text message thing. If you (not you specifically, you as a broad term) were a parent with kids in the car, protecting them is basically your first priority. If that means being safer in a collision at the expense of some bozo who walks out into the street without looking, then that’s a price to be paid.

Even I disagree with it tbh
i think that pickups are not classified as “cars” in the usa so they do not have to follow the strict safety standards of cars, so they are unsafe for both its occupants and the people outside it

They are not classified as cars, though “light trucks” still have to adhere to fairly strict safety standards (though the category of light truck is very vague. A Subaru Crosstrek which is just a lifted Impreza hatchback is technically a “light truck”). This is the category that 99% of pickups fall into. Heavy duty trucks (Ford F550/GM 5500 series trucks and bigger) have less safety restrictions though those are only used for commercial purposes.
Sure, a pickup from 20yrs ago didn’t have much in the way of crash protection, but neither did regular cars (my car has hollow doors, thin pillars, and airbags that may or may not actually be there/work).

Yes and no, it depends on the type of accident. In a collision, they are 100% safer that a smaller car. If you crashed my Legacy (either my '95 or '03) into a semi at 80mph you’d be screwed. If you crashed a new F150 in the same conditions, you’d be better off (though some of that comes down to advancements in safety technology). In an accident such as a spinout though where you may end up off of the road at speeds, then yes, you’d be safer in a car simply because it’s less likely to roll over.

Pour one out for my friend’s Civic. He got hit by a speeding F450 while we were out on a rip over one of the passes.
