    No, I linked those because I have had this argument for years now and it’s tiresome. People driving cars can clearly get away with much more than if they were not in a car.

    The last incident I just read about was a cyclist that was killed by someone in a car. He was in a group of 10 and the driver claims she didn’t see him. No charges, it was “obviously” an accident. Someone is dead, killed by someone driving a car, and it’s no biggie. It’s just an “accident”.

    So, whatever the clearance, either it’s a huge pickup or a sedan, it doesn’t really matter if the driver can see people in front of them or not, they can just say they didn’t see them, it’s an “accident”.

    There are indeed statistics on how clearance and the height of a vehicle can be more deadly, but again, it doesn’t really matter because nobody cares about deaths caused by cars.
