American trucks are fucking stupid
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.
Worse? It’s more deadly than an M1 Abrams! Deadly is cool.
They really need to adjust their aim. They’re just grazing those kids.

Just make the children taller
Another thing Europe does better.
You maybe could if you increased welfare, but US is doing excellent job driving it to the ground
Having the engine at the back of the vehicle always helps.
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.
…vibrates your asshole…
There is SO much to unpack in just three words! Omg 🤣
one with the stickshift copypasta intensifies
Is that why big trucks tailgate me? They just want their asshole tickled?
They want you to get your dumbass out of the passing lane.
Drives slower
Neat. You just caused a major traffic jam that’ll back up for miles. Very social. Very responsible.
Go fuck yourself
vibrates your asshole if there’s something in front.
Rush hour traffic must get interesting
Fucking sold, goin to the nearest Sierra dealership rn
Yeah but presumably the parent in the M1 has a spouse operating a surveillance drone to provide real time
firechild correction?Typically they don’t operate without infantry support, so they’d likely be in radio contact with forward observers. But yes, in some circumstances it could be a reconnaissance UAV.
Thank you this kind of comment is why I come here.
The fact that this needs to exist is absolutely ridiculous
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
The M1 Abrams main battle tank, mind. This diagram indicates nothing about the M1 Garand or M1 carbine.
M1 helmet is probably pretty safe. M1 chemical landmine, probably not
M1 chemical landmine, probably not
Well not with that attitude it ain’t. Children need to learn this stuff you know
the children yearn for the mines
Where is this from?
Starship Troopers
I can’t imagine a ten year old boy who wouldn’t be up for throwing rocks at land mines
M1 Macs probably preferred
Meanwhile in Europe, trucks have a flat front so drivers have great visibility.
It’s definitely starting here too. Of course it’s not as bad as the US but seeing those huge Dodg Rams or whatever is becoming more common. I guess I have to get used to it because I get annoyed every time I see such a car
And we don’t really drive “trucks” anyway, not as they know them in the US.
SUVs are getting annoyingly common though.
I think OP was referring to HGVs and not pickups.
Good point, I thought of truck as pickup.
The comment you are replying to does too. Check out this video comparing the 2.
No, I did really think that the OP meant “truck” as in “pickup” as most Americans refer to them. Now the original comment makes much more sense too!
My homie said he peeled a bloody backpack of some kid out of treads of one of those tanks. Driver started crying and throwing up. Fuckin brutal.
If they don’t care about school shootings, they are not going to care about this.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I’ve never heard about lifted trucks being banned in school zones.
A BMW M1 sports car, produced 1978-81, only sits 1.14m tall, it’s probably got even better sight lines.
Unless you need to look up to see the stoplight.
Easy fix- short drivers and lift kits should be factored in with a ban. If it saves even one Power Wagon from a dent, isn’t that worth a ban?
No
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.
I was not wondering this but now I’m wondering why you were wondering this
It’ll be important to watch out for children if Ukraine moves into Crimea.
Friendliest IDF soldier
You could add the “I♥️Gaza” sign in the tank path. They love filming themselves running over signs
Driving their MBT is a “there will be signs”. OP won the lottery and was worried about school zones, like all responsible MBT operators.
Honestly good on OP. We could use more good role models to show the youngins what responsible tank ownership is all about.
