The smaller trucks would be a lot safer if they weren't sharing the road with trucks 3x their size.

The US is stuck in an arms race. With guns, and cars, and pretty much anything it seems.

"I'll be safe if I have the biggest gun"

The safety of others doesn't matter. They just have to get bigger guns and bigger cars.

Obviously going the other way around would be unsafe.
