When I lived out in the southwest, it was always the shortest people(typically of Mexican descent), barely capable of seeing over the steering wheel, driving these monstrosity of tall and even lifted trucks. I even commented on it to my wife how unsafe it was and I couldn't believe they were lifting them even more.
Sure enough, about a week later, one ran over and killed a little girl in a parking lot because he "didn't see her." Sadly, it was chalked up as an accident and no charges filed...
Seeing as I don't think we want to have roller-coasteresque 'you must be this tall to buy', we need to make them shorter and ban the practice of lifting them altogether, IMO.
