the SUV/pickup culture is bad enough here in the South but they place speedbumps aggressively all over the place here.

Like 4" tall ones with no curve so that it absolutely slams the shit out of your small car if you're doing anything over 3mph. And they place them like every 8 feet. If you're in the lifted trucks most people drive here you can't even tell.

But if you imported a lifted truck, or another daft US vehicle like the Cybertruck into another country it would probably not be roadworthy and the traffic and speed calming measures are more appropriate.

Bullbars used to be a trend in the UK, for example, until they were band in the late 90s/early 00s because they were fatal to pedestrians.

We also don't have pedestrians here and deer are everywhere -- bullbars are great here.

I once counted over 100 deer on or next to the road during a 20 minute night drive...
