The ‘kei’ cars and trucks are growing in popularity in the U.S. But many states have explicitly banned them in recent years. A bill at the statehouse would allow them on Colorado roads.
Manufacturers intentionally make trucks bigger in the US to dodge restrictions, they also don’t sell them in Europe so they can do whatever they want on that front
So you think a mini truck with the front completely flat is any better?

My comment is about disallowing pop-up headlights in the name of pedestrian safety while allowing these oversized pickups and even lift kits. Also things like brush guards, which are extremely dangerous to pedestrians even if they do serve a purpose off-road.
I’ll be honest here and say that I don’t know enough about the crash dynamics of the cab-over design of these mini-trucks to have an opinion on it. Could be that they are really bad too.
Was the old Volkswagen Bus a menace to pedestrians? I don’t know.
Pop-up headlights = bad
Vehicle that sits up high enough to strike you in the fucking head = OK
Not all vehicles are truck
