twentyfumbleThis SUV parking
That’s not an SUV…
But yeah it looks like they backed up ONTO the curb, that’s pretty rude…
Ah my bad, in Europe we don’t see many of these cars. How would you call it? A truck?
of course the one person in europe who owns a pickup would park it on the sidewalk
Speaking as a Dutch person, our infrastructure just isn’t made for cars this size. People basically need to enlarge their driveways to park something like this. So if you need to park a car like this it’s almost impossible. That would stop most people from getting one, except the type of person that does buy one…
I’m in the U.S., and this a problem here. Part of it is financial – auto makers found a market for morons who will finance a $50,000 truck they have no need for.
And they drive like they are invincible. Last week I (Mazda3) almost got crushed by two of these road monstrosities. After taking evasive action to a avoid a head on collision, I got tailgated by another idiot who very nearly rear ended me.
This is also a rural area with no street lights, and a lot of these trucks are designed with a second set of headlights that blind you.
