Maybe that will get things back to mainframes, and I even know what a
mainframe is.

America should never allow trucks as large as we do. Should also not
permit doubles and even triples and all trucks should have a lower

profits for trucking companies. America also had an opportunity to
limit the size of regular vehicles and fossil fuels usage but failed
miserably because Americans are self centered, piggish, and
environmental denialists.

This is off-topic, and I'll happily take it up with both Bill and
Shmuel offline if requested. But I may as well point out that "fewer
deaths" may not be as simple as they're assuming. It seems likely to
me as well that if we had smaller trucks going slower, fewer people
would die in accidents caused by bigger trucks going faster. But how
many people would die because of smaller trucks going slower? You
gotta compare deaths to deaths, not simply deaths to nothing.
Why would people die from smaller trucks going slower? Well, a good
deal less cargo would be transported as a result, and I surmise (but
it's only surmise) that there'd be a lot more pressure on drivers, as
a result, to produce more. Some of that pressure would translate to
tired drivers. And all of it would translate to more expensive
transportation, meaning that poorer people would have increased
difficulty affording the goods that are cheaper now.
Don't assume I'm saying that it's better as we do things now. I'm
not; I'm just saying that "this cause of death would be reduced" is
no help unless you can estimate how many deaths would also increase.
And if anyone thinks there'd be NO deaths owing to more expensive
goods, I'll just shut up.

For Americans here who’ve never been to Europe, trucks in Europe are
much smaller than US trucks, are required to have governors to limit
their speed, and are restricted to the right lane. The result is far
fewer traffic deaths involving trucks.
In addition, Europeans almost never drive pickups and their
automobiles are much smaller.
Their rates of deaths and serious injury are far less than America.
So for you pro life people, perhaps some road restrictions would keep
more people alive.
