That's not what the guy is complaining about. It's a perfectly valid point that with a longer vehicle you have to cut into the oncoming lane or your rear tires will hit the curb.
Feel free to criticize people you disagree with, but at the very least you should criticize what they're actually saying rather than your unfair interpretation of it.
Firstly, that's a big ass car and no one other than tradesperson or people who work closely with construction should be driving that. Secondly, that's a big ass gap, at least 1m, dude purposefully went all the way out there to proof his point.
And if that is the smallest turning circle of that vehicle I don't know what to say. These shit bags are just too lazy to turn the wheel and likely have no idea where the corners of their truck are.
No offense but that's a basic F150. It's got one of the shortest beds of the lineup.
A vehicle with a longer bed or dual wheels, or even with a trailer (say a municipal vehicle for the sake of argument) might have trouble making that turn. It's not necessarily that his personal truck can't do it. Just because his truck can doesn't mean all vehicles can.
It needs to be safe enough for all vehicles that might have to travel that road.
As I said, feel free to disagree but at least disagree with their actual point - not your interpretation of it.
It's unclear to me what your personal opinion on pickup trucks has to do with any of this. I'm talking about fairly representing people's views. I don't know what it is you seem to take issue with.
I'm disagreeing their point by saying that's actually a non-issue, they just have to drive more carefully, especially when they're driving something that large. And it seems like they can't navigate it, which kinda proof the point that it is not an issue. Even if they need to go out a bit to the opposite lane, that is still non-issue. A full sized truck does that all the time, you just have to be careful with it.
The amount of idiots who drive trucks and have no clue how to drive them is a huge problem. They buy them and then never use them for the intended purpose and then cause those of us who do need them for work, to pay premiums because the manufacturers no longer care about making non premium models. Why would they when you got idiots like this guy buying the most expensive trim level, just to drive around in the city.
Exactly. People who actually need these to earn a living don't really care about the bell and whistle it come with, they just need it to run reliably. Not to mention it's an incredibly dangerous car seeing how huge it is compared to a sedan, the size of it literally makes people feels invincible and drive more recklessly.
The truck they showed who was goint into oncoming traffic was 2m away from the curb. These people can't drive or should buy a smaller car that they can drive.
The traffic engineer explained it was a skill issue.
it's not a valid point because you can clearly see in the video that you don't actually need to go out into the oncoming lane, they showed a pickup making the turn unnecessarily wide
