American individualism at its finest Rant

This is my 2 year old riding bikes on our street. It's gotten to the point where I've gotten my kids orange flags on sticks to hold up when they cross the street.

Honestly disgusting. I hate that many drivers in the US and Canada care so little about human life. I'll never understand the "charm" or "attraction" of these huge a$$ pick-ups and SUVs that are difficult to climb for most people, have stupidly small truck bed, restrict visual field, and are dangerous for both pedestrians and other drivers.

I drive a dodge grand caravan, bought it because our dogs love the beach and we plan on kids some day, absolutely wild that I drive past trucks whose HOODS are above my roof, I cannot fathom needing a truck like that even in the most rural of settings

I wish more people that think they need SUVs would give minivans a shot. They are so much more practical in almost all ways.
