That bumper is eye level with me. He could have probably decapitated me if he reversed with enough determination.

It’s hard out there for small car people when everyone else is in an arms race to be as big as possible.

    If we’re going to let people drive all these unnecessarily large trucks on our roads, we should create a new license class for them. Something between a Class D and Class B that has its own written/road test, where they’re forced to learn about how these cars have huge blind spots, longer breaking distances, and how they’re not crash compatible with standard sized cars. Hopefully, if a government agency acknowledged how dangerous these trucks are, it might also lead to bigger insurance premiums for the dorks who drive them.
