    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.

      I once heard a story from someone who drives a small car. They were waiting at some traffic lights. A huge ute with terrible front visibility stopped behind them. Then, 30 seconds later, the ute driver forgot there was a car in front of him and drove forward, crashing into the small car. His excuse was “I forgor 💀”

      American style utes are monstrosities.

        Are you Australian by any chance? I’ve never heard anyone else use the term “ute”. Just wondering :)

          It’s a utility vehicle, mate. I know Americans call them trucks, but over here you need a commercial licence to drive a truck, because they’re big and they’re dangerous if driven by someone without the proper training. American trucks have nothing on actual trucks, though thanks to irresponsible legislation they have many times the death toll.

            I understand, it’s just that I’ve never heard that term outside of Australia. I was just wondering.

            I agree that the term “truck” for both a HGV and a pickup is super confusing and I made that mistake myself earlier in the thread.

        Truly idiots live among us. I don’t think it was the choice of car that caused the accident but what he lacked in his skull.

          Well people are always going to be idiots, so we shouldn’t give them the tools to cause accidents like this
