Source of the chart - Plane vs. car safety: America has the world's safest air travel but is so bad at car safety - Vox
Three tweet thread...
A key reason is Americans love BIG HEAVY vehicles. "The average weight of a new vehicle sold in the United States last year was a whopping 4,329 pounds." You get hit by one of these monsters as a pedestrian, cyclist, you die.
I feel like that truck looks way smaller than most I see in the US.
That's because it's a stock F150...
They go up F250, F350..up to at least F650 (and that's just Ford!)
Plus any yahoo can buy a lift kit off the internet and literally jack up the absurdity.
