    North america is the only place where the trucks are this wide, and where the firedept has the power to regulate the size of infrastructure (and where bike lanes can be) for their increasingly large trucks.

    But don’t watch the video or anything, keep arguing your ignorance.

      Your comment said uniquely north american. I even edited my comment to say North American to match your language since I initially did say US.

      When I came into this thread, you may have noticed I was replying to you and your assertion that pedestrians outside North America don’t get injured by heavy metal objects. I don’t care how compact your vehicles may be, a hunk of solid metal in motion is going to injure a squishy human being.

        Other countries have separate lanes for bikes, less open space for cars and parking (fire dept in the US regulates the minimum space needed for their large trucks).

        Guess what, when the bike isnt on the same road as the hunk of metal, they don’t get hit. Weird i know. Dont watch the video though!!

        (Canada has similar shitty emergency vehicle rules, it’s a north american thing)

          None of which is anything I’m disagreeing with or have mentioned. Again, your comment I originally replied to was implying because you don’t have giant vehicles people don’t get injured by vehicles. I don’t need to watch the video because I was replying to you and the nonsense implication of your statement.
