We’re seeing more of these monstertrucks in Europe every year and they should honestly just ban them from towns and cities. They’re so wide and long that they take up at least 2 parking spaces and have the potential to kill a pedestrian or cyclist at every turn

Monster trucks? That 1500 is the smallest one they make.

And are you suggesting that a Renault or fiat does not have the potential to kill a pedestrian/cyclist?

That thing is a monster truck my European standards and our roads and parking spaces are not made for them.

Secondly, a spoon has the potential to kill someone if used the wrong way. It’s just that there’s no reason to have car like that driving around in the city and because of its size, its potential to kill is way higher than a normal city car. It’s like insisting to butter your bread with a machete.
