@dfx4509b@mas.to @ahltorp@mastodon.nu @rrustema020@mastodon.nl here is where I believe many dudes in north america get their much needed testosterones.. it's the authorities who don't force brands and dealers to warn the little dudes about poor visibilities and handling characteristics; then police see the behaviors on the road and do nothing where there should have been enhanced penalties for improperly driving this type vehicles.

@albertojavier@universeodon.com @ahltorp@mastodon.nu @rrustema020@mastodon.nl The irony about this, is things like transit buses, which are heavier than a pick-up and well into the territory of needing a CDL, typically have great forward visibility because they have huge windshields and are typically of a rear-engine layout so there's no engine taking up space up front; their front-ends are basically nothing but windshield. Also, they're typically lower to the ground for easy entry of passengers. Pick-ups and SUVs at stock height, let alone lifted to crazy heights like is shown in that GIF, generally have terrible forward visibility meanwhile because the front-end hogs most of it up.
