Every time I see a complaint about truck sizes, I make it a point to share this video explaining how it's actually the EPA's fault trucks have gotten so big.

Trucks, cars, all of it. I praise Mazda for keeping the Miata/MX-5 small when almost nobody else has.

if only they didn't give it headlights that blind people

nearly drove into one last night because it was coming up a small hill in front of me in my neighbourhood (on a curve) and I drifted left as I slowed down to ensure I didn't hit the pedestrians to my right. couldn't see a fucking thing because of its 'lowbeams'

I feel this with so many new cars. Particularly when driving my car instead of my wife's which is pretty short.

I finally bought some polarized driving glasses to cut down in some of the glare. They're like sunglasses but bright yellow. They... Help slightly. I'm sure there are some better than the cheap pair I got, though.

how it’s actually the EPA’s fault trucks have gotten so big.

🤨

No, the corporation's horrible behaviour is the fault of the regulators & regulations.

Plus those corporations are the ones lobbying for those regulations.
