Where I live you are much more likely to die getting hit by a logging truck than being harmed by a small utility truck without collision avoidance sensors.
Hell I almost died in a head on collision with a semi truck if I didn’t swerve out of the way. Commercial trucking is where safety should be emphasized, not people who just want a small utility vehicle to do jobs around town.
I suspect it’s a small minority of people that encounter a logging truck in a given year. I’m in the PNW and you don’t see logging trucks barreling through big cities.
> In an average year in B.C., large trucks are involved in less than one percent of all crashes – but they’re involved in nearly 20 percent of fatal crashes.
If you exclude motorcycle fatalities (which is usually only the motorcycle rider is seriously hurt, and that is a known risk they take) the numbers get even worse for commercial trucking.
