They: "Speed limiters on the electric scooters!" Me: "Crash kinetic energy is directly related to weight, so we should put limiters on the vehicles heavier than scooters." They: "You can't suppress freedom!"

Not specific to any particular crash- The size of the blind spot created by the front hood of pick-ups, medium-duty trucks, and heavy-duty trucks is a major factor for the safety of adults and kids outside the vehicle.
