This is no caricature and to scale. Guess which one of the two vehicles is not available in the US and which one is not available in the EU.

    Small cars are dangerous because larger cars can crush them.

    This is the legitimately the logic.

    The world is an insane asylum.

      Small cars are dangerous because larger cars can crush them.

      That’s true in a world of cars, not in one for people though where the driver of the small car sees you and might hurt you if they screw up while the driver of that big ass pseudo-tank(*) just kills you without having ever realized you were there.

      (*)scrap that: actual tanks have better visibility than those idiotic US trucks never hauling anything…

      There’s also the ads that show big cars as capable and rugged, associating them with positive imagery.

      This subconscious suggestion is then justified by making it a safety issue.
