DJDarrenSat next to one of those stupid big imported US tanks at a traffic light earlier. Had a fleeting thought that the roof of my Mini was about the same height as its bonnet.
And yeah, it was.
Those things are ridiculous.
Don Marticalling these things "tanks" is not fair to the tank. An M1 tank driver has better forward visibility than the driver of many full-size pickup trucks (source: https://twitter.com/FreckleEars/status/1624137853872574475 )

"I'll say it again:
The law should be that cars/trucks/etc need to be designed so that the shortest driver while seated comfortably can see a 1m tall pedestrian at all points along the front of the vehicle. And the mirrors/cameras for the sides & back need to show 100% of the street surface along sides and back."
