Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.

    While trucks are complete nonsense to have for 9/10 owners, sometimes it’s choosing between two evils. Either park it like this, or have it stick out this far at the front, blocking traffic flow.

    Instead of being infuriated by the way it’s parked, we should be just because it’s a truck that Is useless to have, especially in the Netherlands.

      Block the flow of traffic. Vehicle traffic has predefined rules to deal with this and it happens all the time. Now you’re forcing pedestrians to go onto the road creating a safety hazard. Strollers, like with OP, or disabled people or really you name it are severely disadvantaged by this, just because this person needed a gigantic car thought vehicle traffic was more important than pedestrians.

        I’m not saying one is better than the other, all I’m saying is that both ways it sucks and trucks in general are just infuriating.

          I’m saying one is better than the other, significantly even. But yes, trucks in general are infuriating. They’re more dangerous for other road users in every single way. You can barely see people over the hood. Other road users are not crash compatible and they use up a lot of space and use a lot of fuel. There’s no reason for these to be around other than feeding people’s egos.

      I mean, the answer is “Your vehicle is too large to park here.” It’s one of the reasons I drive a smaller car, parking is a bitch where I’m from and I’d hate passing up spots because I can’t fit.
