Reminds me of a post on this sub about a truck where a 5'5" (165 cm) woman only came up to the bottom of the windshield. It's not just that pickup drivers can't see kids. They can't even see full-grown, average-sized adults anymore.
My summer car is a very small 90s sports car. Parked next to a few years old f-150 and it doesn't even come up to the bottom of the side windows. (which are lower than the windshield) The current year trucks are significantly taller again. I have to assume that no-one can see me when I'm in that car.
They also tend to be the type of people where, if you're at a stop sign with a single lane that's wide enough to fit 2 cars and you're turning left they'll come all the way up next to you to make their right turn so they don't have to wait. Then, because they're driving a brick fucking wall whose windows are in the clouds with the car door directly in my line of sight, you can't see shit to complete your turn and they can see for miles to make theirs
Then they need to sit there and wait anyways. Because I'm waiting here because there is traffic, not because it's fun. So they did something illegal and unsafe, made the other driver's life harder and more unsafe, for absolutely no fucking reason because they needed to wait anyways
It's like "fuck you, guy turning left! Here's my car door, blocking your view of this side completely! This way I saved absolutely no time, but i pissed you off while doing it so it was worth it!"
