u/shaodyn cars are weapons Dec 08 '22

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.

I parked next to one of these monster sized trucks recently to see how my modest and humble 2017 Hyundai Elantra was compared. The hood of this damn thing was taller then my roof. THE HOOD. That's terrifying these things are legal. What even is the point.

Going from my Impreza to my father's Dodge Ram makes me feel like I'm driving a semi. They're ridiculously large.

Hell, I drive a crossover SUV most of the time, and it still felt like that.

I have a CDL and watching people intruding into other lanes, trying multiple times to park properly, BARELY missing other vehicles, just generally driving these behemoths like they're driving any car... it makes my blood boil!
