Definitely notice a difference since buying the car I currently drive back in 2012. In my state around 70% of vehicles on the road are trucks or SUVs, while I’m out here driving a car that only weighs around 2500lbs.
Kinda worried about what would happen if I ever got in an accident, don’t know if I would fare very well against the majority of vehicles sharing the road with me. Luckily I only live a couple miles from my work, so I’m not in my car very often.
Sedans have stricter crash safety standards than big trucks. The whole reason why Detroit pushes large trucks is the safety loopholes and the myth that a heavier, taller vehicle is somehow safer.
We definitely need weight limits in public roads and special licences for truck drivers. Fucking idiots don’t understand braking distances increase with weight.

yeah. I actually notice most when in a parking lot and they can’t keep these boats in the lines.

Oh I don’t think they’re any safer, I just think they are more dangerous to me and my car when I weighs 1/3rd as much as them.
