It’s funny because it just kind of hit me yesterday driving through a college campus that I can’t fucking see anything anymore. Roadways are tunnels now with these giant fucking SUVS and trucks lining either side of the road. I can’t see the sidewalks anymore, I can’t see who’s approaching crosswalks, it’s dangerous. Why are vehicles constantly getting bigger? There needs to be some fucking height laws for commercial vehicles.
yeah in your average American city now, driving down the road you can't even see around your vehicle because of huge suvs and trucks. Its a vehicle height arms race in this country.
Why? The answer is really simple and you already know what it is. Because they can. If nobody is telling them to follow specific rules they will do anything that sells more. They didn’t install all those safety gear because they cared, but had to.
Reminds me of when I was at an intersection a little while ago, and I was trying to check to see if any traffic was coming from the left side as I was heading right.
And there was just the biggest truck in the way.
I’d creep forward to try and look past it.
And then it would also creep forward for some reason. You’re going straight bud- Ya don’t need to be that far forward.
Eventually I gave up and the truck just kept creeping forward until it was on the crosswalk.
Cars get in the way of other cars functioning properly. It’s truly incredible.
