You’ve simply got it backwards. More massive trucks with higher top speeds are more dangerous. An F-150 at 30mph is more dangerous than a Honda Fit at 30 mph.

I don’t believe I ever denied how dangerous large vehicles are? Although I see a lot of denial in the replies of the danger of smaller vehicles.

But what’s your point then? Yes, of course all vehicles are dangerous to some degree. But some are much more dangerous than others.

Smaller, lighter vehicles are less dangerous through simply the laws of physics.
