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.
Fortnine has an excellent video about this issue.
Canada and Mexico have declining rates and the exact same vehicles, it’s not the vehicles, but people don’t want to take accountability for their actions, so they blame something.
