Toddler sitting on the front bumper of a brand new firetruck with a hood over 5' tall.
I'm glad at least that if a child is hit by this massive truck that the first responders will be properly trained to act! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #OverSizedDanger
A pickup pulls a wide trailer that slightly overlaps into bike lane on Bloor Street in Toronto.
While pickups get larger, their trailers appear to be following same trend. In absence of bike lanes, there's even less room to safely pass cyclists. #oversizeddanger #biketo #roadsafety
"even if every pick-up driver were moving boulders, heavy machinery or plywood around the city, that wouldn’t explain the trucks’ problematic front-end design. The growing height of front-ends is more about sales than utility." - @albertkoehl.bsky.social

Safest place for a pickup...is in a cargobike. At EcoFair we asked people to write to new Transport Minister @stevenmackinnon.bsky.social to require safety warnings on pickup ads + for auto-makers to re-design deadly vehicle front-ends. Seven x more likely to kill a child in crash. #oversizeddanger
