I truly hope UK/European regulators do not allow the cybertruck on our roads. The front end looks specifically designed to do serious head injury to children.

I truly hope UK/European regulators do not allow the cybertruck on our roads. The front end looks specifically designed to do serious head injury to children. Does anyone know if it’s actually passed whatever regulation is required to allow it to be driven anywhere on this side of the pond ?
- nickik 3y agoIm against trucks on roads here for the most part. But to act like Cybertruck is particluarly bad just isnt really make sense. Not having a huge nose will mean visibility is much better. The nose is also lower then an F-150 so the chance your head getting smash (the cause of deat most of the time would seem to be much lower). Cybertruck suspensions seem to also make it run closer to the ground when running on roads. Plus Tesla fleet all follow the newest generation outmatic breaking regulation that is still voluntary. While many car makers including trucks don't yet implement that. So in general, yes all pickup trucks are bad but this one seems better rather then worse. In general keeping all these things should be severly restricted for private use, specially in cities.
- ben_w 3y agoI don't think I've ever actually seen a US-style flatbed anywhere in Europe (including the UK). They might exist and just be rare, but I normally see things like a Ford Transit with an open cargo section, and that cabin has much better visibility than the standard US shape: http://heavycherry.com/machineinfo/ford/-transit_ft_350_flatbed_ek_m__3_side_tipper_eu-2011-van_or_truck_up_to_7_5t-tipper.html http://heavycherry.com/machineinfo/ford/-transit_ft_350_flat...
