Emotional support truck, blocking the sidewalk, sticking out into the road and with an empty driveway infront of it.

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.
I had to drive a truck recently, (needed to rent a vehicle, and they only had pickups left.) It was a chevrolet Colorado, which I understand to be one of the smaller trucks available in North America, and I was so happy to get rid of it at the end of the trip. It was fine on the highway, but in the city it was just incredibly awkward. Cumbersome handling, blind spots for days...I constantly felt like I was going to hit something.
I can't even imagine how clueless you'd be about your immediate surroundings in a monstrosity like what's pictured here.
