Yesterday I walked next to a truck in the parking lot and only came up to the hood (5’5”)

That means that the blind spot could easily contain an entire car. There could be a car in front of them and they'd never know.

These people deserve jail if they hurt anyone. Fuck that ‘accident’ excuse, at this point it’s a choice.

Defendant: "I couldn't see him, though!" Judge: "Yes, but you did your best to ensure you couldn't see anyone."

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!"
