I’ll just ignore the Mercedes in the row behind who is parking in two spaces at once

“This is why we don’t need #US #cars in #Europe”

We don't need this shit in the US, either. I hope that tram just rammed the fucker.

Someone in my city did this. Their car blocked the tram. The tram company ordered taxis for all passengers, and the car owner had to foot the bill.

These cars should be banned in Europe. If your car doesn't fit into a parking spot, it's too big.

Oh come on Netherlands, you're better than this, simply declare these vehicles not road worthy as they are not road worthy. Just give owners 6 months to get rid of their dumpster trucks and then prohibit them on public roads and we're done

#1 vehicle for drivers being under the influence of alcohol.

This is 100% illegal, even if there was no tram rails. City would ~~toe~~ tow this car if they were quick enough to respond too.

This looks like a show down.

Tram be like:

"You're big because the single person inside you is insecure.

I'm big because there are 100 people inside me.

We are not the same."

Train can't dodge, but it can ram...

I don't even drive a big vehicle, but I know that I would be mortified if I drove somewhere only to realize that my vehicle is like 2x the size of every other vehicle around me, and I cannot fit into any parking spot.

How do these people live with themselves? I would get out of the truck, take a look at how far I'm blocking the road, and then just drive away and never come back.

Me to tram driver:

"SEND IT, BRO!"

Even setting aside that it's so unnecessarily huge, imagine having the utter contempt for others and self-importance necessary to park up on tram lines like that.

That will be expensive.
And dumb, how can you not see the tracks?

Dodge Ram. Making bank off insecurity

Time to equip the tram with giant sawblades to clear the way.

There is something poetic about this image and how the USA "fits" in with the rest of the world.

From dodge ram to didn't dodge and was rammed

They look just as stupid here in Germany

French has a nice neologism for this phenomenon: autobésité

American cars are the way they are because if you make them big enough, you can classify them as a truck. Trucks, because of old regulations aimed at farmers, have lower safety standards. The automakers thus don't have to spend as much on development and can make bank off of idiots that feel safer in their death traps just because they can see over the sedans.

So what will the authorities in the Netherlands do in this situation? Put a ticket on it and then wait for the owner to move it? Tow it to an impound lot? Flip it and light it on fire?

Whatever size the vehicle, you can't block the tracks...

EDIT: I've been in this situation in streetcars in San Francisco and New Orleans. No emergency vehicles came, no super tow truck...the streetcar just waited and blocked traffic until the driver came back and moved their vehicle. I don't know what would have happened if the driver never came back, but nothing happened in the 20-30 minutes we waited.

Canadian here - they’re useless here too. Saw a guy the other day who couldn’t even put some 2x4s in his box because it was to short due to having full size back seats. He had them poking through the window into the cab 😂

I see someone parked their emotional support truck in the normal car parking spot.
