The EPA push for fuel efficiency made it easier to hit targets by selling huge trucks instead of small cars.

There is a value in safety regulation but the incentives as legislated have led to negative results. It needs to be fixed or repealed. Not sure there's a clean solution here.

Not only huge trucks, but all vehicles got larger.
