Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

    Might just be my experience but in the UK at least, it’s almost exclusively women who drive cars like this. Men more commonly drive vans and super large vehicles to be fair, but specifically larger than necessary, non-tradesman style cars (Land Rovers, very clean, empty pick-ups etc.)

      Yeh because they want to feel safe. All it is. And it’s not safer at all.

        I’m sure it’s safer for them, but not for the kid they’ll accidentally run over because they simply couldn’t see it.

            By safe I meant they won’t be the ones killed in an accident. They won’t feel the impact cuz their car just keeps going.
