In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
I know this is !fuckcars@lemmy.world but I really hate driving these modern trucks. The hood is too high, the windshield is too narrow, and the height is too high. You really can't tell how close something. It's really dangerous.
On top of all that the assholes that drives these things have the brightest lights in the world. That shouldn't be allowed in the city.
As another guy who drives pickups at work. I hate them as well. They have shit visibility, are difficult to park, handle like a tank, and the bed is difficult to get in and out of.
They design them now as toys, not work vehicles.
I saw one of those small japanese trucks in real life. Hopefully with enough imports truck companies will make smaller models.
Their attitude tends to be more on the side of begging governments to ban or heavily tax their competitors, that way the "free market" can decide which trucks consumers want.
