I literally do mean pedestrians, and it literally does mean being able to take a sharp corner. The hood design is deadly to pedestrians, and you're so high up that you have massive blindspots. It is a machine that can and regularly does cause front-overs, meaning running pedestrians and children over. I absolutely hate how the most unsafe hood design is considered normal, and have and will continually lobby for them to be removed from the roads.
I do not care how safe someone feels inside. To everyone outside the car they are massive liabilities.
Learn up on them.
Edit: LITERALLY 2 POSTS AWAY FROM THIS ONE ON THE FEED. Happened yesterday.
Bicyclist swerved because sedan unsafely opened their door while parking, and large truck ran them over, killing them
I am not denying the danger. Take a moment to understand that just because the vehicle is dangerous doesn't mean anything as far as this particular complaint is concerned. My point had exactly zero percent of anything to do with what you're arguing.
Even if this truck were lower to the ground (like the F150-F350 trucks of the 1990's and early 2000's) that still wouldn't necessarily equate to a turning radius that would allow such a vehicle (looking at you fucking ambulances built on an F350 chassis) to turn the corner without edging into oncoming traffic which is against the law and is unsafe.
You can stop yelling at me. I'm not a yee yee truck driver. I'm not saying that this is meant to be a normal commuter vehicle.
I even agree with you that they're dangerous. I never advocated for them to be used by everyday people. But they don't require a CDL. Nor do they require any special license. And municipality's use them all over for various tasks. So if the municipality uses a vehicle like that in normal operations the road should be able to safely accommodate it.
