Sat 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.

calling 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 )

What was a simple question asked by a redditor turned into one of the most annoying projects I undertook. I posted it over on @FuckCarsReddit as well. Basically this is how far the ground, and more importantly, children can be seen in front of various vehicles.

@dmarti @DJDarren @notjustbikes one thing I'm confused about is that the position and height of the kids changes between the different vehicles. Wouldn't keeping one of those two variables constant make for a better comparison?
