Oh certainly. Trucks inside the USA are their own kind of culture (which I do not feel great about).

I see big RAM trucks show up increasingly more often in Amsterdam. 10 years ago there was just 1, and this week I think I spotted the 4th in my neighbourhood.

Yes, it's a ridiculous development. Those cars have absolutely no business in the inner city, they're bloody dangerous and much too large for compatibility with the roads. And that's before we get into parking issues. PC Hooft tractors...

No, they've got a point. These are simply not compatible with the old town and that's exactly where they go with them. You have to imagine a city that was made for something the size of a small horse drawn carriage where you take these massive vehicles. It's tight enough with normal cars, this is well across what's feasible in practice.

That sounds an awful lot like the vehicle owner's problem to me.

No, it's a problem for everybody else that is trying to use those roads as well.

I don't see the link with the subject.

I don't know who this is supposed to belittle, but I've been on HN quite a bit longer than on Reddit.

Why would anyone downvote this? It's not a minority position.
