Keep these monstrosities off our roads 🙅‍♂️

"US carmakers have accused Brussels of keeping their largest pick-up trucks, including the Ford F-150, the Chevy Silverado and the Ram 1500, off European roads”

@fj why not let people decide if they want such a large vehicle or not?
@reloadedhead @fj Because they endanger others, use way more space and it also encourages driving like pricks.
Or is it just making pricks more visible?

@richlv @fj do you mean they are more dangerous due to the size and potential damage in an accident?

I am genuinely asking, because I come from a land in which having pick-ups is very common in rural areas for work and stuff, but not that common in urban environments, because surely nobody wants to drive that in narrow streets!

@reloadedhead @richlv @fj From what I can tell, they're not even that good as duty vehicles and most never get used in that way.
