It kind of gains momentum. My mom is someone who got a smaller truck after her big one. Not even a car, just a smaller truck. And she feels a bit vulnerable on the road. And a lot of these idiots will merge into you and kill you because you're in a smaller vehicle
So basically, a lot of people who should NOT be driving have huge trucks and other people get huge trucks so they don't feel like they may get killed by an idiot
I swear, if all of this province had regular tests every 5 years, most Albertans would be forbidden from driving
Yeah there really needs to be some laws curtailing the size of these useless abominations. Or make it so there are extra driving tests you need to take before buying one because it's way too large and the ones that usually buy them are the not-so-intelligent crowd.
Only thing worse is those motor homes, some you need a โQโ air endorsement for the brakes, but thatโs it.
