Just look at that. This truck is taller than a used kid (10 years old). I assume the truck can run over pretty much any other age but probably the driver might be able to see older kid's heads. Or we could teach our kids to jump to school rather than walk. If you see a truck, jump and make eye contact before jumping while crossing the street. Or we could tell our kids to never go outside until they are 21.

I drive a civic but ask the average American and you might hear something like this. https://youtu.be/MI7Tq6sRxE4?si=IeLZIDpqwjzZXvAe

Reminds me of the safety flags we used to have to attach to our Big Wheels so that drivers could see us.

2013 VW Golf 2.0 TDI. Although I’ve not driven it since February due to a complaint with the financial ombudsman service as it’s evident I have a blown head gasket which was causing me issues from buying it used.

Now have a 35 mile each way trip on the Metrolink and train to work. Luckily Incan WFH three days a week.

Touran. Its a piece of shit, but good visibility and reasonable mpg.

[-] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Good visibility? You can't even see what's in front of your tires.

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Good visibility for a car generally. But not driving at all isn't realistic with 4 children in the Arctic.

I drive a Gazelle.

I drive a 20 ton vehicle with dual rear tires, it gets about 4 mpg. I don't own a car though.

(I drive a city bus)

Subaru Outback. You should see the kids roll off that hood at 80mph.

[-] BigPotato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The Impreza I drive is lower so the kids fly higher since I'm hitting them lower down.

I don't fucking drive.
