Have a look at this beast. It looks like a hearse.
My little one airbag car is beside it. How safe do you think I feel? And yes that's my blurry finger. It's hard to take quick pics in daylight.
I have driven around in a yank tank - but I was in the USA where the infrastructure caters to them. I have no idea why they're legal here, nor why anyone buys them. They are impractical in the extreme on our roads. I really hope sales fizzle out and they slowly dissappear rather than our roads and parking spaces start getting bigger for these things.
It's interesting that as we're supposed to be trying to fix climate change Yank Tanks are more popular than ever. Truly the Lucky Country.
