@notjustbikes about SUVs that are too dangerous.

[rrustema020@mastodon.nl]

@notjustbikes Not surprisingly, the news and social media reactions to the video are about the price of the damaged object.

Not about the real, human issue. Is that issue too abstract to comprehend for the audience?

@rrustema020 @notjustbikes Screw both of them; they're both car-pilled goofballs living in a hell hole built around needing a car to do anything.

@CStamp @rrustema020 @notjustbikes If a Lambo is good for anything, I suspect it should be good for fast acceleration!

@forthy42 @rrustema020 @notjustbikes In a parking lot? He was driving appropriately. She wasn’t.

@rrustema020 @notjustbikes Just glad it was a Lambo and not a group of boy or girl Scouts

@jackwilliambell @rrustema020 @notjustbikes this just made me look up the roof on the insurances here. They are set by law, fortunately, so it's not something the companies can fudge

@rrustema020 @notjustbikes I love it. I love all of it.

I'm grown up in the 80's. Back then we'd call those monster trucks.

It's just that they now not only drive in those arenas anymore.

@rrustema020 Cars used to be design in a way that would throw the object of collision upwards, on the hood, to minimise damage. Looks like the new car designs have done a full circle and we are back to deflecting, just in opposite direction @notjustbikes

@rrustema020 @notjustbikes Fortunately, only a car, not a kid or a pedestrian...

[jacobwittrock@techhub.social]

@rrustema020 @notjustbikes Insane

[hazel@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@rrustema020 @notjustbikes aaaand in other social circles the reaction has got to be like "shouldnt leave a woman drive your truck!!!1!11"

[ravenpunk@mastodon.social]

@rrustema020 @notjustbikes oh man, in the time I was in america, I was seeying these cars everywhere in florida. I was shocked.

This is so rich I saw this posted the other day.

What was that again about visibility out of these things?

[bhasic@mastodon.social]

@eriksandblom @rrustema020 @notjustbikes In Finland, a CEO ran over a 3-year-old child with a Mercedes SUV. The man denied committing any crimes. He claimed that visibility from the car downward was extremely poor due to factors such as the window frames, the car’s height, and the shape of the front end.

@rrustema020 @notjustbikes Not even a selfdriving SUV but with a person at the wheel? It's not cars but people in cars you should be afraid of.

[albertojavier@universeodon.com]

@rrustema020 @notjustbikes a pick up truck is in fact a work vehicle designed to be used to carry stuff in the missing rear half. Sadly, a large number of idiots in the us, Canada, and Mexico for the most part, somehow cannot realize this fact. They instead think it's cool to lift these vehicles to unsafe geometries and drive them like sport cars. I see this every f#cking day! An increase in the amount and manner of these vehicles should directly correlate to the dramatic increase in the level of stupidity in the general population..
