NICE. I would like to see the Cybertruck and BYD vehicles added, among others, but I will definitely take a broader chart over a cherry-picked up-to-date one!
Those huge American style lorries are mental at the front. They look cool, but what a wild blind spot.
Check out European lorries (like those in Euro Truck Sim for example), the cab ends at the window. Still a powerful beast but compact, and with fewer blind spots. So much easier to drive.
Still some blind spots though, be careful round em :-D
The European cab-over trucks are very common in Australia in urban areas, but out in the middle of the outback the American style are far more comfortable to live with.
Hmm, could you electrify an Abrams? I wonder if there would be a way to make it street legal, given that's it's not so much different from a large SUV at this point.
TBF, the type of vehicle doesn't really matter. If you want to murder someone, do it with a car and just claim you didn't see the person, that you are shocked, and it's just an "accident". Nobody will question this.
I don't have a license nor a car so it might be more suspicious in the first place. I also don't want to murder anybody. But seeing how our society considers deaths cause by cars as normal and unavoidable "accidents", I'll probably still have more chances of getting away with it.
Like, sorry, I didn't see them, I'm just learning, it was an accident. The person just jumped in front of the car, in dark clothing, with no reflective gear.
Go ahead try it. You've linked an opinion piece and a paper on news headlines. You didn't just Google those and then linked then before fully understanding in order to try and win an Internet agreement did you? You also ignore that the overall clearance rate for murder starts under 50% and convictions below 30 right, but you expect that to be a higher clearance for bikes?
No, I linked those because I have had this argument for years now and it's tiresome. People driving cars can clearly get away with much more than if they were not in a car.
The last incident I just read about was a cyclist that was killed by someone in a car. He was in a group of 10 and the driver claims she didn't see him. No charges, it was "obviously" an accident. Someone is dead, killed by someone driving a car, and it's no biggie. It's just an "accident".
So, whatever the clearance, either it's a huge pickup or a sedan, it doesn't really matter if the driver can see people in front of them or not, they can just say they didn't see them, it's an "accident".
There are indeed statistics on how clearance and the height of a vehicle can be more deadly, but again, it doesn't really matter because nobody cares about deaths caused by cars.

Nice
Here's the whole original (and readable) pic https://i.imgur.com/6sPxFAO.jpeg
Also, the abrahams is probably even better, as you'll stick your head out, not to mention camera views
The Abrams is great, the suspension is such that you';d barely feel them.
Fairly certain the suspension would not be needed when you liquify a human being under the tracks

As an American, I don't see the appeal of those trucks. We also have trucks with flat fronts, they're just not as popular.
I'm guessing the European ones are harder to get into, though, or have less sleeping space. That engine has to go somewhere,
American trucks need American units 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🚀💥💦
Ok so, how about 9.45 of shot school kids of 1m each?
Terrible.
1/63rd Furlongs to see a 1000 caliber 36 month old from the drinking seat of a light duty American truck.

Lol, it took me a second to figure out this chart.
I was wondering where the hell am I reasonably expecting to encounter a 2.5 meter tall 5 year old...
And a nearly twice as tall 3 year old
I'd go for the Abrams if it didn't have such bad fuel economy. Then again, I guess it's good to get out of a traffic jam.
"Oh, you're gonna cut ME off you little shit!? We'll see about that."
Make sure you try that before in front of a mirror like in Taxi Driver for convincing results.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Eddie Hall(former world strongest man) did. At least he drove over someone else's car before.
Hmm, could you electrify an Abrams? I wonder if there would be a way to make it street legal, given that's it's not so much different from a large SUV at this point.
An extra ton of batteries is not going to change the weight that much.
Yes! And you can dump any removable armour, because road rage incidents rarely involve calibers larger than 55.
I can tell you're not American because we consider fuel economy to work like golf, the lower the number the better.
I wasn't aware with my European mind that you can call an Abrams uber there. Wow.
Seems like the perfect solution for a lot of urban problems.
Make sure you specify what kind of firearm you want with the uber order, otherwise you could get something stupid.
What about the lower-profile Warsaw Pact tanks? Are they safer to drive around small children?
"They are made for small children, that's why they have an ammo carousel!"
*slaps turret and gets blown up by random bolted-on Kontakt ERA
They're actually really good for this, none of the crew had any jolt or bounce injuries after either Budapest or Tienanmen.
You'd have to file a 285 if you tried to pull that in a sherman.
Dark ergonomics.
My take from this is rear engine vehicles are the safest to drive around small children.
Lambo it is.
Now what about if you’ve lifted the front about 2 feet and lower the back? That’s big these days.
GMC Sierra it is, perfect for "accidents"
TBF, the type of vehicle doesn't really matter. If you want to murder someone, do it with a car and just claim you didn't see the person, that you are shocked, and it's just an "accident". Nobody will question this.
Especially if the person you murdered is on a bicycle, or has ever ridden a bicycle.
Do that, I dare you, see how it actually works out for you 🤣

Deaths caused by cars are horribly normalized.

👌👍
Where Miata tank specs?
Wait, does the driver in an Abrams really only have the periscope and the hatch, with no higher-mounted cameras?
Correct
Are they at least equipped with parking sensors?
Parking sensors, schmarking sensors. 64 tons of steel, tread and f*ck-you-firepower says I park where I want.
yeah but you have to pay extra
Nobody here is going to pay for that. When you drive an Abrams, you can afford a few parking tickets here and there.
No one gives an Abrams a parking ticket.
