    EU: Your truck is unsafe because it is unusually large and has razor sharp edges at head height.

    US: Your truck is unsafe because it is too small to withstand a direct hit from one of our super safe giant axe head shaped cars.

      Well the larger trucks are exempt from the safety regulations is the reason it plays out that way. The spirit of the law I think is that they have a special use case and aren’t supposed to be the default vehicle someone would be driving. But it’s a loophole probably written in by the manufacturers themselves and that’s just how it was billed to whatever legislator that signed it.

      “The only way to protect yourself from a giant truck is to have your own giant truck”

      Now where have I heard of this logic before? 🤔
