I've always driven small sedans (sentra ser back in the 90s, currently a toyota corolla). Learning to drive in 1980, it was common to be able to see traffic through the two cars in front of you because (1) most cars were small sedans, and (2) really dark window tinting hadn't become a thing. Now I'm usually looking at the rear of a SUV or tall pickup truck and can't anticipate traffic even one car ahead.

Anyway, for years I've always responded to the "I feel so much safer in my big car/truck" with "I always stand up in movie theaters because the view is so much better"

Must be a very important movie, I guess, to analogize the inability to see a film to being killed to death.

Either you don't understand what an analogy is, your misunderstand this one in particular.

My point was that both do something which benefits me that directly disadvantages other people. When people talk about their massive truck feeling safer, somehow this dynamic is ignored. But if someone applied the same reasoning about standing up in a movie theater, the selfishness is apparent to everyone.
