I'm in the U.S., and this a problem here. Part of it is financial -- auto makers found a market for morons who will finance a $50,000 truck they have no need for.

And they drive like they are invincible. Last week I (Mazda3) almost got crushed by two of these road monstrosities. After taking evasive action to a avoid a head on collision, I got tailgated by another idiot who very nearly rear ended me.

This is also a rural area with no street lights, and a lot of these trucks are designed with a second set of headlights that blind you.
