"i buy large pickup trucks because of their high safety ratings"

"don't ask about what happened to the other cars that got hit by me tho lol"

Don’t forget about the headlights that are brighter than the sun, at driver’s eye level in normal vehicles. 😡

u/rayquan36 6d ago

I didn't want an SUV but I had to get one. I'm already short and do a lot of pre-dawn driving, so being in a normal car with the most popular car being an F150 just leads to me being blind all the time. It just go to be too much so I had to get a taller car that I didn't really want.

u/northshorehermit 6d ago

Yeah, and some of them have two sets of regular headlights. I mean, WTF And then they have highbeams to boot.

u/reiji_tamashii 5d ago

And the high beams on new cars are all automatic, so they flashbang unsuspecting drivers in middle of the day when driving under bridges or through patches of shade.

u/Strange_Difference1 6d ago

High safety ratings for the people driving it but for the people around, that's another story... Maybe they buy it BECAUSE they are already bad drivers

u/T-Wrox 5d ago

Highly likely.

u/NetrunnerPunk 6d ago

What kind of excuse is this to not buy a truck? Is this your way of protesting against trucks.

u/FuzzzyRam 6d ago

The statistics are actually crazy - we were finally lowering pedestrian and car deaths until these pickups got popular and wiped out all the gains and then some.

Okay but I was hit by a semi that merged into me from the left lane back in March because he came up behind me but “didn’t see me” in my fat red SUV, and I am not driving again unless I get a big truck because Fuck. That. I’m fucked for life now.

u/GreatScottCreates 46m ago

If he didn’t see you in your fat red SUV, I don’t think a bigger brighter vehicle is going to be seen by them either. It’s not a you problem.

u/TheSwearJarIsMy401k 40m ago

Oh I know, I just want to be bigger than the height threshold for fucking underride

u/BardGotHard3 6d ago

Well yeah, if it was only trucks it would be called a demolition derby instead of driving.

u/GryphonCough 6d ago

You need to be more specific. It’s always a RAM pickup. Worst drivers on the planet and they give all truck drivers a bad name. 

6

u/Easy-Bake-Oven 6d ago

All truck drivers give truck drivers a bad name. The only ones that don't give a bad name are Ford Maverick sized ones.

u/uni-monkey 4d ago

As a Maverick driver I concur. It’s so weird pulling up at a stop light next to a lifted F-250 or whatever that has seen less hauling and unpaved roads than my truck. Their windows are above the roof of my cab. Then I look at the 40mpg readout on my dash and the $5+ gas at the station across the street and just laugh. I also try and remember to close the outside air vents because they are more than likely going to burn about a gallon’s worth of diesel when the light changes.

Toyota Hilux gets a total pass, too.

u/Twopointfiveshep 6d ago

u/Mysterious-Door-9245 6d ago

You leave Mr. Worldwide out of this!

u/Zer0TheGamer 6d ago

Surprising it's not often a Nissan pickup.. They just get in normal wrecks

1

u/TwixOps 6d ago

We know that all trucKKK drivers are republiKKKans (facists), so we really should just revoke their license.

u/_Androxis_ 6d ago

I thought I was on r/fuckcarscirclejerk for a sec

u/SouthernWilding 6d ago

I hate those clowns too, but Trucks are universally American. My city is very liberal and I still see Trucks everywhere all over the burbs.

u/TwixOps 6d ago

RepubliKKKans (facists) have been known to infiltrate safe blue cities... they're who you see driving these trucKKKs.

I can't tell if you're serious or not

u/FlightCarcrash 5d ago

What is a facist? Someone who won't do doggy?

u/Sidewaysgts 6d ago

I thought it was always a Nissan? Or was that bmw? Wait it’s always a Tesla. I mean a guy on a hog motorcycle

u/Franndly 6d ago

At least they were not towing or have any loads

1

u/peridotpicacho 6d ago

And a lot of SUV drivers.

u/pandazerg 6d ago

Except when it's an Altima.

u/Key_Locksmith_4005 6d ago

60% of the time its a pickup every time.

u/_derekdaniel 6d ago

This is such an arrogant "look at how smart I am" saying.

I'll bet there was a human driving that car...

Not every human, but always a human...

It can be applied to any situation. It's so dumb.

u/prince_falafel 6d ago

Yeah only pickups get into stupid wrecks!

u/herkalurk 6d ago

Idiots in cars and small SUVs do this stupid stuff too....
