@DrTCombs i had to cross the street with a modified one that couldn't see me and had loud music so they couldn't hear me. They almost hit me but i had been gesturing at their passenger, who stopped them.
Im 5'8" without shoes.
I think you'd have had to be more like 6' to bee seen over the central intake hood thingy, though 5'10 would be fine elsewhere... You don't even really get in trouble for killing people with your vehicle. No jail. Just an "accident."
These trucks need banned.
@cykonot @DrTCombs
Full agreement. Straight up ban.
Introduce strict design regulations that require direct lines of sight from shortest legal driver comfortably seated to 2 year old at all points along the front. And crash regs that require impact at knee or lower on adults, falling on hood. Etc. For sedans, trucks, delivery vans, etc etc.
