There’s this dude on YouTube called oats Jenkins and makes better versions of things, he made a “traffic 2” video and in it he said something along the lines of “oh and you will need a permission ticket for a pickup added to your driving licence if you want one, so that only people who need a pickup truck can have one”
This is absolutely genius in my opinion, and I saw these big ass pickups spreading into europe, and like where I live (pretty small far away town of which there’s a ton of in Europe) they would take up somewhere to 3/4 to the full damn road (I saw someone drive one and it really went like that those things are as big as a bus)
In the Netherlands you need to register one as a company vehicle to be able to import it which seems like it’d be a pretty sizeable limitation… yet I still see these pieces of shit everywhere, being used as personal vehicles exclusively
I’ve seen a fair few cobbled together with tape, but I can’t say whether that’s because the driver needs the extended mirrors and sucks at driving or the get smashed.
They’re supposed to be for when you have a trailer to decrease your blind spot, but I never see them used with trailers.

Just wait until you see the guys with the extended length mirrors so they can cosplay driving a big rig. They stick out over the lines in Canada.
So, do they get smashed often by traffic in other lanes? If so, which baseball bat is recommended for this glorious pastime?
