Those shitty jap trucks are honestly pretty nice farm trucks provided you can actually get one that hasn't been worn down by the time it can be imported. Sort of a mix between a Mule and an actual truck. I don't know why you wouldn't just use a Mule then, something to do with the closed cabin maybe.
My favorite part about these is that a world where farm owners and business operators, Ambulance drivers, and school busses all were allowed to continue operating as is while we all switched to motorcycles would pretty much be their ideal world, but they physically cannot exist without the thought of their mouth being full of cock so instead whatever the fuck this is gets pushed instead
Thing is visibility in a truck is pretty good as is. The cab is basically a box of glass, and now you have cameras and even rear mounted radars. If someone is right in front of the truck, sure, they could get hit. But generally you have a high level of awareness in a pickup
Remember, their whole premise is pretty ridiculous as is, lining kids up lying down from tires out, something that would never, ever happen in reality outside of an IRL Se7en/Saw-style serial killer situation.
Well they do think if you drive a car you are a serial killer by default.
I know they can hit 80kmh without issue but I'm told the ride is 'squirrely and frightening'. Keep in mind the OG Beetles had 50hp and they could keep up with traffic just fine.
Sports cars have far worse visibility (source: me, I test drove a 2016 Mustang) and all the other bad things that they say about pickup trucks, but they never seem to appear on these guys' radar... surely it couldn't be because of the political class connotations around owning pickup trucks... surely this couldn't just be another attempt to get back at the jocks that stuffed bugmen into lockers....
pretty pointless since they aren't touching the speed or pedal assist restrictions.
They'd probably point to Vegas and forget that city was founded by Organized Crime and gambling.
Don't also forget that you're supposed to ignore the poor chinky bastard who gets hit by a driver or knocked unconscious by some falling brick from one of their shit buildings because you would have to pay as well even though you are a bystander.
That's only 50mph, motorways are 70mph and traffic usually goes faster that that unless there's speed cameras every hundred yards.
Good for contractors and delivery shit in the nightmare cities of japan, their roads are absurdly tight. You'd genuinely struggle to get a regular 4 door sedan up some roads.
The only way you'd need a van for that is if you normally drive a classic mini or a fair 500 from the mid 80s. Even then, I'd wager you could carry it in the boot with the hatch down. These people have no sense of scale.
>hit brakes slightly too hard
> nothing of value was lost
Pretty sure that's illegal here at least. Bikes are a class of vehicle and that thing isn't tied down or secured in any way. It would be a serious danger for anyone else on the road not to mention pedestrians -- I really doubt bicycle brakes are designed to take an extra load that high and stop in the legal distance required.
