That’s part of the issue. The safety ratings of a pickup truck do not incorporate the risk of the front end causing fatalities in collisions.

The feeling of safety is part of that - drivers think they have better visibility due to seating position. They are also more likely to roll and spin out than other vehicles.

Causing fatalities to the other drivers and pedestrians. This is, unfortunately, a selfish incentive that works against the common good.
Agreed. It’s gross. Unfortunately we live in an era where common good is a quaint concept.
