That bumper is eye level with me. He could have probably decapitated me if he reversed with enough determination.
It's hard out there for small car people when everyone else is in an arms race to be as big as possible.

I was at a set of train tracks behind a large truck. Well, in front of him, a car was stalled with hazards on. He looks behind him, backs up to go around the guy, and taps my front bumper. Dude’s truck was so large he couldn’t even see me in the rear view, and the side mirrors made me invisible since the wheel wells were so wide.
I don’t even drive a tiny car or anything, just a mid-sized sedan….
I hate driving or riding in large vehicles though. I feel like they’re tall, unwieldy, and I’m short, so I usually can just see high enough to drive but always feel like I’m about to hit everything. Can’t imagine having one as a daily driver.
