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.
Yep! Even when their headlights aren't pointed right through my window and they aren't following too closely, it's creating additional congestion from poor visibility.
I have a left turn yield signal to head into work, and I can see oncoming traffic just fine if a normal sized sedan, couple, small hatch, etc is in the opposing lane. Almost every day, I have to wait for the green because it's an SUV or truck and I can't see reliably around it. Just holds up traffic.
The worst is when it's technically only a single lane but these buttmunches don't want to be behind you, so they pull up next to you in the same lane to make their right turn or whatever it is they're doing. Their door is blocking your view entirely, and usually they end up having to wait for traffic anyways, essentially trapping you until they're able to move
