Lorries too? Buses? Trams? Ponies?
Our buses have extremely great sightlines up front!
This is especially funny, given just how many buses I’ve seen that don’t have this problem.
An alternative to a ban: require a truck driving license for such big vehicles with limited visibility, ie this kind of SUV. Also, enforce the same kind of speed restrictions and fordidden areas as trucks, ie exclude from neighboorhoods with narrow streets.
Correct, the same way as buses, tractors and road trains (very long lorries, not sure if it is the correct term in English) demand a special license.
Most bus drivers are literally first in the line. Engine in the back. With poor posture and no windshield they'd almost fall out.
Not to mention that they actually serve a purpose hard to achieve in another form.
Not all buses are designed like that. Most american school buses are like this. But you may notice that they have mirrors on the nose.
I never claimed they're all like that 🤷♂️
Who has a pony? Hope was I supposed to know she had a pony?
