Nobody is calling for a ban on trucks. In fact, trucks are awesome and needed by all kinds of people. We’re asking to stop enforcing truck way of life with endless, unaffordable highway expansion and focusing on truck development and transit at the expense of everything else. If you spent less time feeling threatened and more time getting other people off the road so that they can walk, bike, or take public transit such as buses and street cars your own experience owning a truck and using it for your activities would be enhanced. It’s a mistake to believe that trucks are at odds with proper transit.
In addition, the main issue w.r.t visibility here isn’t limited to trucks. But given that we make vehicles bigger and faster and we design highways that encourage faster transit we inevitably cause more deaths and destruction and a net expense on society that can be avoided by getting more people off the road and slowing traffic way down except on interstate highways between cities.
It also doesn’t make sense to ban pedestrians or people walking, given that we live on Earth.
