Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

      It’s unfortunate you think we shouldn’t have the infrastructure in place so people don’t need to be reliant on cars.

      For probably 16 years at the beginning, very likely a few years at the end, and probably some months in between; you are/will be unable to drive. Some people are unable to drive ever. During these periods of non-driving, we reduce people’s ability to participate on the things the want to, while simultaneously spending enormous tax funds on making driving “better”.

      This is an intrinsically unfair system, though it is not uncommon (and logically understandable) for people with the means and ability to drive to want to maintain this recent status quo.

      I can’t say I am blameless, as I still drive and own a vehicle. But I do hope that be the time I can no longer drive, I can still get to all the things I like. I also hope that if my children are unable, or chose not, to drive then their mobility will not hindered or limited.

      Cars should be returned to luxury status, not a forced trap that impoverishes people and cities.

      If you consider my view radical, than you may want to reconsider your participation in c/fuckcars
