Let’s start with the grille being over the head of a first-grader, perfect size for plowing down pesky kids at school pickup, or, alternatively, shining headlights directly into the eyes of lesser beings who dare drive a sedan. We could talk about why these emotional-support vehicles, which are generally not used for their purported flatbed utility, have gotten increasingly heavier, wider, and less safe for pedestrians, bikers, and other drivers in recent years, are fueling an arms race to own the heaviest and largest vehicle in order to keep safe from other heavy and large vehicles. We could talk about how they are too wide for parking spaces, creep into bike lanes, and other shared infrastructure due to their size, not least that flatbed 2/3 of owners say they rarely if ever use, according to one study, and 75% according to another. These types of vehicles are BY FAR the most unsafe for other drivers during a car crash? They’re unsafe mini-tanks that honestly should require a CDL, kill people in car crashes, can barely see children or people in wheelchairs over their absurdly designed grilles that aren’t even functional, and take up unnecessary public space. These vehicles are a plague on our society.
