This image would be more believable if the truck was parked about two feet onto the road, so it blocks the sidewalk and any bike lane that might be there.
That happens a lot where I live, and I especially love the ones with trailer hitches inconspicuously sticking out in the bike lane so it can break your shin.
the newer, nicer suburbs in austin have extra large driveways and i’ve always suspected it was for something like this pic. lol
Its because the modern family needs 5 cars. 1 per parent, 1 per child once old enough and a back up car. Or the developer was forced to meet some ridiculous parking minimum based on bogus statistics.
it’s texas so both are true. lol
That’s because they forgot to take the hitch off. You can help them by kindly removing it taking it to the scrap metal place
Trailer hitches are much more dangerous to pedestrians than you’d think.
@AceBonobo @Showroom7561 I believe that around here they are required to be removed when not in use.
Not that anyone knows this.
Everything is allowed when you have zero enforcement.
If a cyclist clipped one of those, our city would remove the bike lane!
I will never understand why people put giant lifts on trucks, but don’t install bigger tires. In the 4x4 world, you actually want a lower center of gravity so you don’t flip, meaning that normally you only lift your truck enough to fit the size of tire that you want. These pavement princesses look like wrestlers with ballerina legs.
The majority of them are not doing it to improve performance. Same with the low profile tires with huge rims. You want smaller rims and more sidewall for off roading. These mods when implemented like this are “look at me”, “I’m bigger”, and “I’m more important” statements. I’d bet most of these owners would freak out if they scratched their paint on a tree or got dirt in the bed.
Never skip wheel day
They sniff Truck Nutz as a means of saying hello.
Maintain a calm demeanor and let the ritual finish, as they can become quite enamored in the process and prone to startlement.
