It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

Hey! Don't judge them too harshly for admitting they need an Emotional Support Vehicle for their fragile ego, there's a reason they need such obvious over-compensateors. /s
I'm honestly always weary of these kinds of vehicles, the blind-spots are freaking massive. they are also much more difficult to see "around" to try and get a sense of what traffic/etc is like further ahead/around you.
Yeah, I saw a photo from inside one of them the other day and the pillars are gigantic.
They have to be - safety standards require vehicles to not kill everyone inside if you roll it, which means the roof needs to be able to support the entire weight of the vehicle.
Yeah. They should really just make them smaller. They could also do without the big handles on the pillars, but I understand they're so massive they can be hard to get into and out of without that handle.
I am guessing it was a panoramic photo, otherwise I doubt you'd have seen around the pillar at all.
