I point that out to a few people out here that they drive this monstrous trucks that you need a ladder to get into it. They never once have taken them off road and the only loads they have hauled in them are groceries, but they claim that one day they will need the functionality. Years later and I am still waiting to see that day for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main objection to them is that you shouldn't be able to take your driving test in a Smart ForTwo and then immediately use that same license to go drive one of those enormous pickup trucks. People freak out about maybe getting hit by someone on an electric scooter while having no problem with people driving these trucks with grilles at head-height on adults around cities. @b_m_b_m_b_m You could get so many of those fucking things off the road if you required a separate type of driver's license for them, it'd force people to actually think about whether they need one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the wildest thing about how they're trying to campaign right now--you're supposed to believe that every major city in the country got set on fire by BLM in late May has been on fire since, and you're supposed to believe that the mob is now dispersing out into the suburbs and coming to graffiti the side of your SUV or whatever, but you're supposed to give Trump a pass for this happening while he was the president, but also believe that he can keep you safe from it all if you elect him a second time. Also, you have to not think about the actual biggest threat that currently exists at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been showing ads about this for the last couple of weeks in my area, about how Biden will "Defund The Police" in the literal sense, and that we won't be safe in an America run by Biden. As opposed to...what? An America where these protests are already happening, alongside a pandemic that is getting worse and quickly spiraling out of control? Oh yeah, I totally feel completely safe right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are functionally the same. Have you ever driven one? You can see around you far better in one. The only thing that is harder with s truck is parallel parking. Otherwise, if its automatic, it is no different than driving a Honda Civic, aside from sitting high. I really don’t get the hate for them, especially the modern ones. My GMC Elevation gets 26mpg. I do actually haul with it though. I just hauled 3500lbs of supplies to my rez a few weeks ago. And I drag my bass boat and ATV all over the place, since I'm getting to do a lot more competitive fishing now. I was supposed to be competing in a tournament in Quebec, Canada this week, and then Ontario next. This pandemic has certainly screwed up everyone’s plans.

With these big trucks, you're more likely to kill someone if you hit them, and while you can more easily see other cars on the road, it's harder to see children and other nondrivers around you.

It really isn’t harder to see around you. Behind yes, but thats why most new trucks have back up cams. I certainly don’t think everyone should have one, but they are functionally no different to drive than a car. That is all I was pointing out.

No. You have a much bigger forward blind spot than with a Civic and unlike with a Civic, which hits people in the legs and throws them over the hood, they hit people in the vital organs and drag them under the truck. And when they rear end another vehicle, they risk riding up on top of the vehicle in front and crushing everyone inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclumber1 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 TBF, the blind spots on my F-150 aren't nearly as bad as the blind spots I had on my (now sold) Fiat 500. Plus the F-150 has a backup camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Oh, and if you do hit and kill them, you'll probably get off with a warning because you "didn't see them" because of our fucked up legal system when it comes to the death of pedestrians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are really understating the damage a car does to a human body. By a lot. And the blind spots on new trucks are not bad at all. If you can drive a car, you can drive a truck. I’m more concerned with those who do their test in automatics and buy standard sports cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see data on accidents caused by cars versus trucks, per capita. I see a lot more drivers of cars acting like asses on the road than I do trucks.
