You can’t, I know people used to talk about how kids (probably adults too now) are invisible when they’re close enough but I don’t see it brought up anymore. Of course that won’t stop a bunch of losers from complaining about kids not playing outside when most of outside is made explicitly for these pieces of shit.

This is fine.

Best graphic I’ve seen so far on how dangerous the latest models of absurdly large trucks and SUVs are today.

Tweet

The tweet is two years old so - of course - the vehicles have gotten even more ridiculously large.

the driver/owners are completely unaware of the front blindspot, even the one that has a Cadillac with a ‘front view camera’ that she didn’t even know about

and another tweet thread: https://nitter.net/alexandreafonso/status/1396939038456750089

It’s horrible when right-wing men have dreams about committing murder by using their monstrous SUVs in a car terror attack but it’s just as unsettling when other drivers are totally clueless how dangerous their vehicles are.

This gives me a bit idea: American leftists that can no longer afford to live in the states and have emigrated abroad try to dupe CHUDs in whatever county they’re in to do something environmental or whatever because it’s “what the cowboys would do.”

That’s more south African lingo than I’ve heard for the past 5 years save for whenever Locke spoke in Payday 2

I thought I read somewhere these things will start getting cameras on the grill to prevent them from killing children. Instead of making them smaller.

Trucks and SUVs are somehow excluded from pedestrian safety rules, or rules that would prevent them from destroying a small car in a head-on collision. Same with fuel economy standards. Sigh.

Are you questioning the right of American males to definitely not overcompensate by wheeling around in baby APCs?

NHTSA changed their side collision test to include the same impact as a modern pickup truck and a lot lf vehicles scored very poorly.

I mean with the way fleet fuel economy regulations are companies have to either make electric card or trucks, and we all know what hogs will want
