I'm wondering if you can read or having memory issues, or blissfully ignoring everything I wrote. In no way did I say large vehicles are less safe for the person driving them. The problem is that they kill more people than they save around them. Read that again. So while you can feel snuggly safe in your ridiculous truck, know that cumulatively more fatalities are happening because vehicles keep getting bigger. Again, it just means you're only thinking of yourself. I'm done talking to a narcissist.

    Are you dense or just don’t understand the English language? I quoted the relevant text of a comment you made:

    My reaction comes from studies done on vehicle safety and the economics behind them. You reacted by saying "I _feel_ safer" and getting all emotional because you're trying to justify your purchase. And everyone else is unhinged.

    Well let me spell it out below:

    I am safer in a large vehicle and both you and I verified that statement.

    Smaller cars like the Kei truck being a prime example of unsafe cars. Which you and I proved.

    I am glad you finally agreed with my original comment. I do take great satisfaction that you have admitted I should feel “snuggly” safe in my large truck.

    My purchase is justified by the statistic you love so much and everyone else is unhinged. That was the only point I was making.

    So while you can feel snuggly safe in your ridiculous truck, know that cumulatively more fatalities are happening because vehicles keep getting bigger.

    I highly encourage you to stand by your convictions and purchase a small truck like the Kei. You can be the change you so vehemently advocate for. May you drive it proudly maybe even recklessly in dangerous heavy traffic around large vehicles.
