I remember watching a Simpsons episode about how deadly big cars are back when I was like, young. At least 15 years ago. We've known this for so long, how is it so difficult to just set a maximum height commuter vehicles?

(It's a rhetorical question, but it anyone has an actual answer then count me curious.)

Because the United States EPA designed fuel efficiency regulations in a fucked-up way that incentivizes manufacturers to produce larger and larger trucks.

This may be true about the US. What's the UK's excuse?

Tories wanting to copy American “culture” design without thought.
