I’ve literally never had an issue and I’ve never heard of that being an issue. Do you not look at the road when you’re driving or something?
Can anyone provide anything that says this is a real concern…? Because people keep saying it, and no one wants to prove it. So strange… should be easy, no? So why can’t anyone do it?
Well fuck me dead, that's a shocking plot twist. The guy who responds to every comment with "spoonfeed me this widely available information" hasn't heard of something.
It's basic geometry, which was apparently too much to ask of you. Maybe we should have started at "object permanence" and established that things continue existing, even when your vision of them is blocked.
Most people probably just assumed you were aware of this extremely common knowledge and that if you weren't, you were capable of being a big brave boy and typing "pickup truck blind spot" into a search engine by yourself.
But nope, you'd rather accidentally admit that you don't know basic safety information about your own car.
Like everyone else not understanding that using red lights inside of urban areas cause most of these issues? And this issue only exists in the US…? And not anywhere else?
I love how all the data is from the US, it’s literally not an issue anywhere else… fucking lmfao. Don’t provide your local data in a global conversation, why do you think that’s important…??
Oh look, the goalposts have moved again and apparently outside the US, people in giant trucks have xray vision that let's them see through solid metal.
I'm not engaging any further. You're a fucking idiot, driving around in a fucking idiot's car, and you've already done more than I ever could to prove it.
The goalposts haven’t moved, they’ve always been global, I don’t live in the US so why the fuck would I be talking about the US…? The meme could apply to multiple countries, even mine, but we don’t have this issue of kids getting killed in school zones, nor this campaign to get smaller vehicles, since it’s not an issue when driving, maybe the decent pedestrian infrastructure helps, but who knows, the problem only exists in one place.
Lmfao, give your head a shake, the world doesn’t evolve around your country, I know you all want to, but there’s an entire world out there.
I’m sorry your country doesn’t care about your safety, and you want to blame vehicles instead of your own abilities while driving, or make shit safer of you want to stare at your phone while driving. Yeah it’s not illegal to use your cellphone while behind the wheel in how many states….? Maybe that’s the reason for these collisions that only happen in the US…? No… can’t be the laws letting people be negligent… no…. Can’t be… must be something we can blame than ourselves… hmmmmhmmm….
