Edit: What do you judge them for?

    We have a few of those here in the Netherlands and it’s so ridiculous it’s almost sad. These big American trucks really aren’t fit for Dutch roads. They’re too large for the roads, they don’t fit in any parking lot, and they look ridiculous next to any normal car. I could sort of understand that a farmer would have them, but even then it can’t be that useful because it must be a hassle any time the truck needs to pass through a city or village.

      Yeah I should have said: I’m from the Netherlands as well. And my gripes are only valid here I think. The roads here are NOT made for these monster sized units. Parking one of them means you are half way parked on the curb, meaning pedestrians and wheel chairs can no longer pass.

      I’ve seen cases where these “parked units” block the flow of traffic and even trams!! #useless
