Could be partially true if they are actually from America. Lots of places have old tracks that are not in use but left in places like downtowns (sad and ironic). Definitely not an excuse but possibly some context.
No joke, I nearly died walking across Waterlooplein a few years ago. I had no idea there were even trolley tracks there. I heard or maybe just felt something, stopped walking and turned my head - to see a trolley whizzing past about an inch away from me.
I worked the ER for a smaller hospital in the past and one evening I was called in because a father had ran over his own son with one of those pickups. The kid ran out to greet him but the father couldn’t see his own kid because the lifted pickup’s hood was too high.
I sincerely hate those wanktanks with all my heart and soul
That will be expensive.
And dumb, how can you not see the tracks?
They can see the tracks - they just don’t know what they are lol

I live near a (US) town that has an active trolley line down the center of the main street. People block that fucking thing all the time.

Just like how they can’t see kids when they’re peeling off their driveway.

I will be using wanktank going forward, maybe adjusting it to “yankwanktank” for the especially egregious American monstrosities.
wank tank for the vehicle, wank tank yank for the zealots that drive them
Bloody hell, that is just sad :(
The kind of people who would just drive on when there’s no witnesses
