    Man imagine if that was an enforced rule

    Like, Trucknuts McGee isn’t even allowed to move into a house that’s too close to the school because he’s driving something that’s better rated as an Armored Personnel Transport than as a passenger car.

    But what about Bubba Joe’s lifted F-350 dually with the extra huge exhaust pipes and big big American flags? He’s a real patriot so there’s no way it’s worse than all of these vehicles.

    Only an issue of a toddler literally sneaks in front of you when you’re stopped. Not an issue while driving and almost completely out of the realm of possibility in every day driving.

    Not totally true because my sierra 2500 has cameras in the front, shows you what’s immediately ahead if you’re going less than 15 mph or so. Beeps like crazy and vibrates your asshole if there’s something in front.

    If they are to drive an armored vehicle on public roads during peace time, even the military necessitates a vehicle commander standing out of his hatch with direct communications with the driver so he can have an overview of what’s around the vehicle and compensate for the driver’s blind spots. It is a basic safety rule.

      What, no driving an MBT into a school zone with all hatches closed? I’m sure we’re all very shocked at this revelation.

      And we don’t really drive “trucks” anyway, not as they know them in the US.

      SUVs are getting annoyingly common though.

    Ryan Fortnine made this point by climbing inside the engine compartment of a Dodge Ram.

    They didn’t modify the truck and dude is over 6’ tall.
