No it doesn’t. Haha, why are you- whatever, it’s funny.
Anecdotes are fun and similarly irrelevant to general auto standards.
And no, for regulatory, logical, and statistical sake, a cab over wheel in a properly manufactured vehicle is not more dangerous than a poorly manufactured American truck or SUV you literally cannot see the pedestrians in front of.
I do appreciate your desperation in parroting my exact wording at the end here to try to pretend you aren’t playing make-believe with your anecdotes and errors, but throwing a nonsense tantrum and fabricating straw-men to rail against isn’t helping your argument.
Anecdotes? I gave you numbers. Hell, need a more drastic example? Toyota Yaris, 100kph to 0, 32m and it weights… 1090kg! That’s half the weight of a Veyron yet it takes a longer distance to slow it down! Hell, you love Kei trucks so much, they do a freaking stoppie if you apply the brakes too hard!
How is a truck with a tall grill unsafe but a truck with a flat nose safe for pedestrians during an impact? It’s the same kind of impact, one where the passenger isn’t thrown on the hood!
Yes, that’s the same very fun single irrelevant anecdote that doesn’t negate the wider safer vehicular auto standards of a jei truck.
You should definitely write about the Spyder again, though.
I’m sure if you repeat it enough times, I’ll eventually be convinced.
You’ll at least feel better.
As for your question if you’re vehicles manufactured with safety in mind are safer than vehicles with tall grills, you’ll have to think(don’t be scared) of the difference between braking for a pedestrian.
In one test, you can see the pedestrians in front of you through the windshield of your vehicle.
In the other, the windshield is blacked out and like many American trucks and SUVs, the pedestrian/sedan cannot be seen.
Which pedestrian or sedan do you think you’ll be able to stop for on time?
The one you can clearly see, or the one you literally cannot see?
You keep using this word but I don’t think you understand what it means…
If the pedestrian pulls up in front of you, what car stops first, the one with no contact patch, 90s drum brakes (possibly at the four wheels), no ABS or the modern car with large tires to grip the asphalt, ABS to make sure you don’t lock your wheels, big disc brakes at the four wheels, development actually going into pedestrian safety?
The only place where your Kei trucks might win against a regular truck is in that narrow gap where the pedestrian jumps in front of it and is visible in the Kei truck but not in another vehicle and there’s still time to start braking, if the pedestrian is too close then it loses, if the pedestrian is too far it loses again, against a sedan then forget it, the hood on the sedan is purposefully built to absorb the impact for the pedestrian, heck, they’re coming up with external airbags to protect their head!

Safe as fuck, right?

“Anecdotes”

It isn’t surprising you’re confused about words.
Why would you stop? Because you’ve seen the pedestrian?
Be pretty difficult to see the pedestrian without being able to see out of your truck, wouldn’t it?
One step at a time for you there.
