And truck sales in Alberta are only increasing. My commute car is a Mazda 3, and sometimes when I'm stopped beside a pickup at a red light all I see are giant wheels and fenders. I don't begrudge anyone from buying an SUV just to feel a little bit more safe on the roads
Except they're not. Two massive vehicles crashing isn't any safer. There's nothing you can do when someone rams you from behind but I prefer to be in a vehicle that's much more likely to avoid an accident.

#### trucks as passenger vehicles. I don't have anything against those who choose to drive them but I wish I could convince you not to.
