I never understood this "commanding view of the road" stuff. I drove around for many years in a 1989 Buick LeSabre, and cars got taller and taller all around me. Felt like I was lying down on a skateboard by the end. But I never once thought "gee I wish I could see from higher up."
(Only thing I ever hit was one of those cement kerbs that stop you going in to the hedge at parking lots.)
And for comparison, I think the Buick's hood was about where the fender is on that monster truck in your photo.
@DrTCombs too close for comfort for my liking. Any chance she goes Goth so you can put her in some dr. Martens?
@DrTCombs Any minute now the cagers will be telling us children should all walk on stilts.
Note that she still wouldn't be able to #MakeEyeContact with the driver, so if this were a crosswalk, she'd still, even at 4 feet, 8 inches tall, be too short to follow the primary "safety" advice we give our kids.
