June 2022 --> February 2023. The kid has grown two inches. The trucks have grown even faster.
This is not fine.

@DrTCombs @kentindell Okay, I get it and US pickups are pretty dumb for what they’re mostly used for, but…
The one on the left is standard height and the one on the right has had an aftermarket lift.
Why would your child ever be standing with their nose to the grille of a truck?
@ajpbradley @DrTCombs @kentindell This is such a stupid, disingenuous statement.
Vehicles like this after on roads which are shared spaces. They have to interact with pedestrians. This means that they need to be able to see pedestrians, including pedestrians who are in the streets.
Bikers. Mopeds. People in crosswalks. People *not* in crosswalks. Children playing on neighborhood streets.
@savanni @DrTCombs @kentindell You seem to be under the misapprehension that as a pedestrian, cyclist and river, I disagree with you. I don’t.
These trucks are mostly unnecessary, but this *specific* comparison is misleading as one is stock height and one is modified.
🤷♂️
@ajpbradley @savanni @kentindell It doesn't matter whether it's stock or lifted. It'll kill kids either way.
