Yes, but a Sprinter has a short nose and the driver's position is such they can see everything in front of them. Those ugly penis extension trucks have huge blind spots immediately in front of them.
- arghwhat 11mo agoAbsolutely true but beside the current point of whether they are more or less in the way when parked in residential areas than our normal commercial vehicles.
- m000 11mo ago"Let's drive around the hood to flex my Mercedes Sprinter", said noone ever. These are strictly professional cars. When they are not "in duty" they're probably parked at a garage. On the other hand, an American open truck driving/parked in a residential area is almost certainly some show-off.
- arghwhat 11mo agoYou misunderstand - almost every tradesman here drives their work vehicle home and drives errands in it. Use of the company vehicle for commuting is considered a standard perk of these trades for regular employees - free fuel (fuel is way more expensive here), they can some days drive straight to the first customer (saves time), and might save them from getting a car (maybe the spouse has a microcar for their commute, otherwise biking and public transport are common). Source: I live here and see it every day. Family, friends and customers are doing it, plus many eons ago I too was a tradesman driving home every day in the company work van. (Heck, many companies wouldn't even have a place to park all their company cars at once, many such smaller companies run out of regular residential buildings with no dedicated parking.)
- richrichardsson 11mo agoGood point; I should actually make sure to pay attention rather than reading "Sprinters are bigger" and applying that to my hatred of American trucks!
