Good. Fewer of these ugly, oversized cars (the model X) on British roads.
The damn things have fat arses and I hate driving behind them - they fall in to some kind of uncanny valley size wise.

- youngtaff 3y agoStill get those damn ugly oversized BMW’s and Mercs though
- ablation 3y agoSadly nearly every manufacturer has an equivalently-sized (or bigger) model. For example: Audi Q7s, Volvo XC90s, Mercedes GLSes, new Landrover Defender etc. All monstrously oversized for British roads. All nearly impossible to see past in a "normal" sized vehicle.
- bb123 3y agoYes, one of the upsides of driving on the left is that it has spared the UK/Australia/Japan from those awful American gas guzzler tanks.
- flir 3y agoThere's one or two around. You look an utter tool driving one though.

I guess the limiting factor is more the size of typical parking spaces, garages and so on. But still, there is an undeniable trend of cars getting "fatter" in Europe too. SUVs are currently the best-selling category. Ok, these are more "compact" SUVs rather than the "tank-type" ones, but still bigger (especially higher, which is bad for collisions with pedestrians, most of all children) than other categories.
- bb123 3y agoYeah there are a few exceptions (some people also just import them) but we have avoided the worst of it so far. Anyone who has driven in the US knows that the average car size way larger.
