@DrTCombs I just feel sick watching this. The amount of these monsters in the CITY, emphasis on CITY, of Montreal, is appalling. No one needs these in the city (and arguably, nowhere) to do their monthly Costco shop. I've started making little pamphlets with similar images (from the media) and sneaking them into their windshields, but I'm genuinely afraid of getting beaten up one day for violating their windshield freedom... 20 comments
@theteapixie @magalhini @DrTCombs. They are ubiquitous and make driving treacherous and walking, which I love to do, fatal. Here's hoping to 9 lives.  @theteapixie @DrTCombs That's a larger issue than the height of the vehicles. A motorist can't see through the windows of an ordinary van or panel truck ahead of them, either. Many don't even have any. Generally I hate technological solutions, but like backup cameras, I think the best solution to that problem is to require a rear-mounted screen displaying the feed from a front-facing camera on any vehicle that doesn't have a clear line of sight through the windshield from behind. @DrTCombs @callisto @theteapixie this and regulations on manufacture, taking us back to days when trucks werenโt like this @theteapixie These people should be held responsible for the damage they cause. They are not causing accidents but chaos.  @magalhini @DrTCombs Trust that it WILL happen. I had to bail my sweetie out of jail bc he SPAT on an SUV. What harm was THAT? Birds shit on them all the time! @RnDanger @magalhini @DrTCombs We've been invaded by hawks, owls, bluejays, and turkeys. So glad I got rid of my car a few years ago. I don't have to give a damn what they poop on next.  @thepoliticalcat @magalhini @DrTCombs @RnDanger @magalhini @DrTCombs Partner has an electric vehicle we use for grocery trips and other life necessities. Otherwise, we don't go out much, since I'm elderly and disabled, and we can walk to the local stores, bank, restaurants, etc. @magalhini @DrTCombs A single person can probably do their monthly costco shop on a mountain bicycle with a makeshift trailer. And the mountain bicycle will get them both into and out of trouble in the mud faster. @magalhini I call these ridiculous vehicles codpieces. I keep hoping it will catch on.  HEY! Speak for yourself. I need a 4X4 the size of Mount Rainier to ferry my cheese haul home. /s @mckra1g @magalhini @DrTCombs Haha, I know you had the /s, but in seriousness, I've done that in a compact sedan for my family of 4. Filled the giant Costco cart almost to the brim, and packed it all in the trunk. Edit: compact, not subcompact. @scottmiller42 @mckra1g @magalhini @DrTCombs You clearly don't buy enough cheese. ;)  @magalhini @DrTCombs post the flyers. If anyone who drives one of those trucks can actually catch me they deserve to try to beat me up. |

They are here in Vancouver, too.
I drive an ancient corolla. I canโt see tHe traffic past these vehicles.
They cause accidents even when they arenโt involved.
