In London, England, where the roads are narrow, the parking spaces are limited and we have plenty of availability of vans that can actually fit things in, we still get these a*holes with their unnecessary large pick up trucks made for a road system completely different to ours…

These spaces are wider than usual and long enough to fit them but they still have to park like w*nkers blocking the only footpath around!

I mean, I have a 5 door hatchback and know that my car overhangs the back wheels, as does any primary school kid drawing a car…

    They’re pretty shitty for most tradesmen who only need to carry tools. The beds are so high and deep it’s annoying to lift toolboxes in and out. A van with a roof rack is way more useful.

      a van with a roof can also hold a similar volume as the pickup can safely, while also being lockable, making it safer for the actual transport of said tools
