US seeks new pedestrian safety rules aimed at increasingly massive SUVs and pickup trucks

DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government’s road safety agency wants the auto industry to design new vehicles including increasingly large SUVs and pickup trucks so they reduce pedestrian deaths and injuries.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that for the first time it’s proposing a new rule setting testing and performance requirements to minimize the risk of pedestrian head injuries.
The rule would cover all passenger vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or less, but it’s is aimed largely at big SUVs and pickups, which have grown in size and hood height over the years, causing blind spots for drivers.
NHTSA said pedestrian deaths increased 57% from 2013 to 2022, from 4,779 to 7,522. The agency says the rule would save 67 lives per year.
Data show that nearly half of all pedestrian deaths when hit by the front of a vehicle are most common for SUVs and trucks.

Stupid mother frickers should be more careful crossing the road!
Same stupid, illogical idea the Marxist use regarding guns.
Punish the law abiding and give the stupid people a pass. EVERYTHING about the Marxist progressive Dems ideas are just plain old stupid.
None of the issues facing our country are "complicated". ALL of it can be solved with a lil common sense.

“Somebody! PLEASE! Think of the children!”

Thankfully, I'm blessed to live where that doesn't happen. If it did, I wouldn't run em over, but I would lay hands upon them and remove em from my path. In such a way that they would not feel comfortable to block my path again. Ya know what I mean? Introduce them to the reality of life.

Let's jack up prices on trucks and suvs another $10k or $15k for everyone to possibly save 67 lives per year.
Posted on 9/14/24 at 8:12 pm to 4cubbies
Good.
Posted on 9/14/24 at 8:14 pm to 4cubbies
How about this? Let's keep pedestrians out of the roads.

The dumbass reporter journalist jackass couldn't look into why these vehicles are getting bigger?
ITS THE frickING EPA REGULATIONS being based on the vehicle volume to engine size.
fricking disingenuous hack
