I’m sure it will meet all the crash test standards ICE cars have to meet, not. But the feds will look the other way to forward the “agenda”.

If it hits my Ram 1500 head on, I win and walk away. He goes home in a body bag.

“If it hits my Ram 1500 head on, I win and walk away. He goes home in a body bag.”

If you drive any vehicle in such a way as to end up in head-on collisions, you’re not going to “win”.

If you’re at fault, you might go to jail.

But I’ve seen a fatal accident where a driver of a similarly sized vehicle (as yours) was smashed like an aluminum can by a semi the killed driver didn’t see coming.

The semi driver was primarily at fault (for running a red light), but the killed driver had gunned it into the intersection to turn left rather than yielding to oncoming traffic. If the killed driver had simply been courteous and driven lawfully, he or she would have lived to see another day.

I like driving larger vehicles because other drivers tend to not cut out in front of me or ride my bumper as much. But I also notice, at least where I live, that drivers of larger vehicles such as pickups tend to drive them like sports cars and expect everyone else to get out of their way. But, as I pointed out, that gets some of them killed.
