And I can’t legally drive my kids around in one of those, so yeah it’s like they are different trucks for different purposes or something…. I don’t know…. Maybe…?
In my opinion, it should be illegal to drive any vehicle so tall you can’t see kids in front of you anywhere near a school zone. Unless it’s a fire truck or other service vehicle, for obvious reasons.
It’s funny, kids aren’t getting run down in school zones in other places, we don’t let them run indiscriminately across the road. They’re taught to walk to a a crosswalk to cross the road.
In fact, lots of places ban school buses using flashing red lights inside urban areas since it’s more dangerous, it’s only allowed on rural roads.
…we don’t let them run indiscriminately across the road. They’re taught to walk to a a crosswalk to cross the road.
Really? You’re actually going to defend this classist, corporate-astroturfing bullshit, the theft of the public street away from the People for the exclusive benefit of irresponsible drivers?
Yeah the amount of people who think the problem exists outside the US is astonishing.
Flashing red lights in urban areas is dangerous since people don’t follow the rules and it provides a false sense of security to the kids.
They’re literally lining the kids up and know people don’t follow the rules, it’s silly they haven’t thought to adjust the laws yet. Places in Canada did, decades ago.
I fucking hate what’s happened to hood shape on modern pickups. You mention firetrucks, but most of those that I’ve seen are cabover and have great visibility.
Just give me an 80’s square body shape and ride height with a modern drive train.
Because the modern truck has crash safety in mind due to crumple zones and other shit. I bet if a small truck were to be redesigned today with modern collision technology it would be just as safe as the truck without being multiple tons heavy to the point you nearly need a cdl license to drive a behemoth
There’s a push for both? What are you talking about?
One’s just more of a priority since the vehicles are more dangerous for pedestrians as well, they’ll both get there if people have their way, you’re naive of out think otherwise.
Both are insanely dangerous for the driver, one is for pedestrians, one they’ll deal with first, than move on more judiciously to the next.
But nowhere near the same driver comfort, crash test rating, towing capacity, top speed, tongue weight, or max load weight. Bed length alone is a poor measurement for a truck’s usefulness.
So is using those other measurements as a reason to justify owning a truck for most people. The Apes (Italian) serve a purpose, not a daily driver. Living in Houston I observed American sized trucks carrying single occupants with the occasional truck towing something once a month. That’s it, none of these people needed a truck for a daily driver which is what that pic is all about.

Yeah and oddly enough this isn’t a problem where jaywalking is legal like the EU, so what point do you think that’s making here….?
Just gonna leave this diagram here for reasons.

Fuck yo kids, little shits spoiled by shit parenting.
And the one in-front is becoming legally impossible to drive.
Yeah, check it out in a collision, it’s unsafe as shit for the driver.

Kei modernized their truck, it still scores a zero.
Maybe research first…?
Motorcycles are far less safe and far less utilitarian, but still legal and ubiquitous.
And?
So why are Kei cars being banned, and not motorcycles?

Check how much worse it is for the pedestrian to be hit by the pick up truck.
Huh, both are dead from the videos I just watched. Any particular source I should be looking at?
It’s funny that pedestrians aren’t being hit at the same rates as in the US, so it’s like it’s not actually a concern since it doesn’t happen enough…?
What a stupid argument.
So are motorcycles. Maybe we should have a special license requirement for them, just like motorcycles.
My body my choice! Lol

So you expect someone to have multiple vehicles? Yeah because that makes sense…,
You can just drive your pavement princess, you don’t have to justify it to the internet
You’re making a lot of assumptions there, hass.
Stop driving around a penis enhancer and I will stop making assumptions about the size of your junk
You’re an idiot. I never said I drive one of those things. Dumb ass.
Sorry about the micropenis

Obviously not the same width or depth though. I think truck culture is dumb, but spreading obviously misleading memes isn’t going to help with that.
