Paris is saying ‘non’ to a US-style hellscape of supersized cars – and so should the rest of Europe - sh.itjust.works
Cycle to work every day, 3 miles one way, I know in my bones from repeated experiences that the bigger the vehicle, the less likely they see you
That one picture of even front-end visibility always stuck with me. It’s something stupid like 15 kids in a line and the driver can’t see them. You could drive into a classroom worth of children and not see it.
If it’s the same one I’m thinking of, a couple/few of the biggest trucks have less visibility than an M1-A1 Abrams TANK…
To be fair I’m pretty sure the Abrams (and most other modern western tanks) have really good driver’s/commander’s sights compared to any vehicle at all
