    Lol, it took me a second to figure out this chart.

    I was wondering where the hell am I reasonably expecting to encounter a 2.5 meter tall 5 year old…

        Terrible.

        1/63rd Furlongs to see a 1000 caliber 36 month old from the drinking seat of a light duty American truck.

    I’d go for the Abrams if it didn’t have such bad fuel economy. Then again, I guess it’s good to get out of a traffic jam.

      Hmm, could you electrify an Abrams? I wonder if there would be a way to make it street legal, given that’s it’s not so much different from a large SUV at this point.

          Yes! And you can dump any removable armour, because road rage incidents rarely involve calibers larger than 55.

    Those huge American style lorries are mental at the front. They look cool, but what a wild blind spot.

    Check out European lorries (like those in Euro Truck Sim for example), the cab ends at the window. Still a powerful beast but compact, and with fewer blind spots. So much easier to drive.

    Still some blind spots though, be careful round em :-D

      The European cab-over trucks are very common in Australia in urban areas, but out in the middle of the outback the American style are far more comfortable to live with.

    I wasn’t aware with my European mind that you can call an Abrams uber there. Wow.
    Seems like the perfect solution for a lot of urban problems.

    My take from this is rear engine vehicles are the safest to drive around small children.

    Lambo it is.
