A girl I work with lives in Blanchardstown, she drives daily to Summerhill in her car. Why t f?
What’s wrong with a modest hatch back?
She’s unmarried and no kids. What the f does she need it for?
you appear to be having arguments which exist in your imagination. i am unable to respond to arguments which exist in your head.
unless you can find an example of someone stating that large EVs are fine, but not if they're diesels, that's strawmanning.
and even if you can find someone doing it, you have portrayed it as the argument being forwarded by all those you are disagreeing with. which is disingenuous.
I've never once mentioned anything about EV's, where are you getting this idea from?
You don't know the full story.
You're just making stuff up.
Definitely not nice to be filming someone like that.
Do you think she's being forced to drive the tank sized vehicle?
Do you still not get it ?
It's not right to be filming people like that and sneering at them.
I didn't film anything.
It's not right to allow a culture to develop where vehicles of this size are used as normal family cars.
What size vehicles are acceptable? Imagine a scenario where you are in charge of making the law. Tell me the exact size a car should be acceptable.
Good man, the one man crusader saving the world from the scourge of SUVs and basically pretty much anything motoring related via a constant harassment of Boards.ie users.
Care to mention other actions you are exhaustively undertaking to achieve your objective?
He gets it. He just doesn’t care. The anticar cult doesn’t care
Exactly and tbh it's easier to influence people before they develop bad habits in the first place. The horse has bolted with the Rangers and Range Rovers but maybe start posting pictures of these massive EVs beginning to proliferate our roads before it's too late. Car manufacturers, politicians and the general public will listen
I know you didn't but you posted it in this thread.
Own it.
Listen back you can hear the low life's sniggering at the woman.
How about the size of vehicles that don't need the occupants to tie a stepping stool to their vehicles, to facilitate entry, for a start?
Is the car abiding by the current legal standard? What height is the person?
What height should a person need to be?

The desperation of playing the gender card. Seriously!
The vehicle and person height should be close enough that they that don't need the occupants to tie a stepping stool to their vehicles, to facilitate entry, for a start.
Which bit of this simple requirement are you struggling to understand?
The part where I asked you to give me a specific and exact specification of a car that you deem acceptable and all you could muster was the fact that someone shouldn't need a stool.
I asked for a specific measurement. You said, not a stool.
I supposed we can do away with wheelchair ramps and tail lifts as well.
You don't understand my answer? Or you don't like my answer?
I explicitly asked for a specific answer, you didn't give me one.
"Tell me the exact size a car should be to be acceptable."
It's ok. We can leave it there.
Why would you want or need a specific height? Do you think this is some kind of gotcha or are you just trying to distract attention from the ludicrous situation shown in the video?
I am asking you…. pointedly…
What EXACTLY size vehicles should be allowed? And tell me what size vehicles should be allowed for a family of seven.
If a family of seven have a vehicle that you deem acceptable to their situation, but the majority of times, only four members of the family need to travel, should they buy a separate car so not to receive your scorn for using what you consider "too big"?
Or should you mind your own business?
And I've answered
The should get a size of vehicle that doesn't require them to carry around a stepping stool.
We're not developing an ISO standard here.
We can leave it there so Andrew.
Thanks.
As you're the one who's raised this point despite trying to say I did, how about you go ahead and start your own campaign.
I carry a stepping stool because my wife drives a wheelchair accessible van and, as my knees are buggered, I need the extra height to get in.
I'd rather put hot pins in my eyes🤣
Ah, the old "I can't argue with your point, so I'm gonna pretend that it's a load of nonsense so I don't have to face up to the fact that I've been caught with my jocks around my ankles and can't defend my point" trick.
It's a basic question, one that anybody can answer, provided they're willing. You called that car unnecessarily large. How can you tell that it's unnecessarily large? The real answer is you can't. I know it. You know it. Everyone knows it. Sticking your head in the sand and claiming it's a nonsense question is, in fact, nonsense.
So, 99% of vehicles in Ireland are fine then, by your own admission?
Grand, so. You heard him, lads, Ford Ranger Raptors for everyone
My pont being you and a couple of other posters seem to be fixated on Rangers which are only bought and driven by self employed and businesses. One lad even through foaming teeth describing all ranger drivers as cnuts. Some balanced rational thinking there eh!
I'm just trying to assist you in case you are genuinely worried about the future of oversized private vehicles in which case you'd need to refocus your ire on EVs which up to now are more bloated than their equivalent ICE.
