I never understood the “Slow Children” warning sign. It’s the fast ones you have to be concerned about. The fast ones will run out in front of you before you have a chance to react.
I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but “slow” here means you slow down
My girlfriend bought me a shirt with this on it.
Who will buy a car as big as it? I mean, it will cost you a ton of money in fuel and finding a spot to park it will be complicated at minimun.
US-Americans
Can confirm, live in the US and probably 1/3 of the vehicles I see on the road are large pickup trucks that I doubt are even used to haul what they’re built for.
Oh
That GMC vehicle probably would be classified a truck outside USA/Canada/Australia. Thus requiring a license of a type mostly only pro drivers would have. Not that that fixes everything but would reduce risk (statistically).
Not sure about that.
In Europe you can drive trucks up to 3.5 T with a car license.
Taxes might reduces ownership tho.
And the price of fuel for such monsters tho
Punishing individuals for their consumption choices instead of holding corporations responsible is not a good or ethical way of combatting climate change.

I’m in my 30’s and just about to get my license and first car. I’m having sticker shock as I start to calculate out how much it will cost me. Hopefully I can switch over to car sharing services as said car reaches the end of its lifetime. Most of my trips can be made by bike or transit, and for a small fraction of the price.
It’s more humane if they die on impact rather than from inner bleeding in the hospital.
To be fair, you can make the exact same thing with a train. It comes down to not being an idiot in traffic.
Trains are not part of traffic.
And neither does a child materialize out of thin air an inch in front of a car. If it stood like a foot further, the driver could clearly see the child.
Neoliberal critique of personal consumption never stops being nonsensical.
The child standing in the blind spots of a SUV is the typical way for parents to accidentally kill their or their neighbors children
The number of people bringing red-tribe-vs-blue-tribe culture war nonsense into leftist spaces is astounding. People think leftism is just “being a really intense and edgy liberal”
