Why are commercial truck drivers in anime and manga so hopelessly unaware of pedestrians?

Maybe don’t play in traffic?

I was expecting chinese but wtf wrong with japanese kids. They tend to commute alot by foot or bike so you think they would be more aware to look left and right.

Car accident fatalities are incredibly common

Because Mexishits can hop the border and buy their CDL from their buddy without actually training.

Then we wonder why truckers have gotten so shit lately.

They recently closed down a CDL mill in Miami doing that, too little, too late though.

Those 1 lane streets are the real problem that shit is just asking for people to be splattered, you can literally take one step out the front gate of some of those buildings and be right in the middle of the fucking road.

Even for aware drivers, it's relatively difficult to stop their 3000 pound sedan depending on how fast they're going, and even harder on a moving truck averaging around 10000 pounds, on a dime. Most collisions could have been avoided if more drivers and pedestrians understood this. Cars move faster than you think and stop even slower than you think. More drivers also need to exercise common sense. If you're in busy area with a lot of foot traffic like a mall parking lot or tiny side street don't drive 20km. Drive slower, assuming someone is going to jump out from behind a car at any moment.

This basically confirmed what I suspected, Japan wants to add many more entries to the Darwin Awards.

I hope they remember this is not a contest and some things you don't want to be number 1 in.

Seriously, what's the deal with those streets without any space to walk?

So this is what it's like to be truck-kun.
Seems like a fucking nightmare.

Needs to be a Truck-Kun anime where the first episode starts as a really good romance. Episode two is Truck-kun doing his daily routine. It should be a milk truck so he can say hi to the neighbors. Hes just doing his daily routine but he winds up killing a love interest. Would be pretty fun IMO.

If you get killed you die after all.

No bike lanes? Also what was up with that one kid who fell on his side from the sidewalk to the road?

Kids are just unaware, this happens a lot i guess in cultures when they let sub 8 kids cross streets alone.

>1:52
What the hell

Kids are generally dumb, this happens in any cultures.

That's the point. In places were they let them wander alone cause there is more security and/or are with the mentality of teaching them autonomy, I'm sure traffic accidents and death are more common. Just a guess.

>have high pitch squeaky horn just to not scare kids

Wew lad

It's not like they're better irl. They're in a constant rush due to their tight schedule and should they hit someone on the road, they'd rather kill the sucker on the spot and pay his funeral fees since it's cheaper and less complicated than paying his medical bills.

I'm pretty sure that would land you a life sentence if the attorneys ever figured it out.

>ほら！

コラッ dumbass

Because they have nothing but blind corners in Japan.

I'm glad that little qt was aware, and avoided that threat

She's secretly an adult who was already isekai'd to this world and so knows what to look out for.

It's like those kids want to be isekai'd. BAN ISEKAI ANIME NOW!

>Terminator music plays in the background

Where I live, there's always the issue of that one asshole who tries to cut past you when you're about to turn. Whenever I get near my home, I always have to slow down and signal a bit before turning the corner into the street because there's a real chance of some idiot trying to cut past from the side I'm turning into. The worst part is that even though I'm legally in the right in the event of an accident, I still have to go through all sorts of legal bullshit anyway.

Oh, and I forgot to add the part where the dumbass I might wind up hitting winds up acting like I'm the one in the wrong. I remember a case where one kept at it even though both the police and I outright explained why he was at fault repeatedly.

Why do they even have pedestrian crossings if every driver ignores them also lot of dumb bike riders

Dipshits buying large trucks as a status symbol fucked up the market, too. A modern Tacoma (mid sized truck) is as large, if not larger, than a 90s to early 00s Tundra (full size truck). My 2009 B2300 is about as large as a full size sedan and I get 21 MPG with mixed city and highway driving. That was the last year of production so when the rust takes it I'll either have to buy a much older truck, or something bigger than I want. The larger trucks don't even have a bigger bed, they just have a larger load/towing capacity which most people won't use/don't need. If you buy a crew cab then you actually have a smaller bed than I do.

All this tells me is that
1) Kids should be kept on a leash.
2) Places that have no room for a bike lane should just straight up not allow bikes and stuff like that.
Outside of the first and last one, as far as I saw it was always the cyclist/biker/pedestrian's fault for taking sudden, unsignalled turns on a large road, or straight up rushing through traffic.

A lot of those tiny suburban streets were almost certainly just not designed to have trucks running up and down them regularly. I don't know how garbage collection works in Japan though.

I need some eurobeat to go with this.

I think the 1 lane roads is the least of the issue, since from what I saw, the speed limit seems so low in those places that you can't get a serious injury unless you step infront of a truck literally just as it reaches the gateway, and at that point, if you can step in front of a truck like that, you're deaf and not even careful about it. No amount of road regulations can save people suicidally stepping into traffic.
I'm more talking about like those two lane roads with tiny sidewalk where each lane barely fits a car and the side walk isn't wide enough for more than one bike.
The issue is that in those places, it's clearly meant for proper traffic, so speed limits are going to be higher and reaction times suffer. That's why bike lanes are great, even if they eat up a bit of the road, since at least you have something to stick to, and you're going to get your ass jailed if you try going anywhere but exactly where a truck driver wiould expect you to be as he's coming up on an intersection.

The fuck?

Lol, sure.

I've never seen a truck hit someone in an anime, is it really a common cliche all of a sudden?

youtube.com/watch?v=eIIfqnVQ5MA

As someone who spent years living and driving in Japan these are my observed issues:
Extremely tight corners, so tight you can't see anything until it's too late. Very narrow roads and corners with walls, you literally cannot see until you are past. A lot have mirrors, but some do not.

Terrible drivers. I shit you not, I regularly saw people run red lights. The time from red to green in perpendicular traffic is longer, so people think they can just run them. I saw one of my students almost get mowed down by a car who ran a red light.

I almost got into a head on collision on a two way road that was only the width of one car, and the opposing driver was going full speed at me.

I saw someone driving in the wrong lane. She was fucking Japanese, it's a two lane road. I'm American and we drive on the opposite side of the road, and even I never did that shit.

If you're a pedestrian or a biker, just pretend every intersection has a stop sign, even if you have the right of way because I rarely saw people stop for them. I can't tell you how many times I stopped on my bike when I had the right of way and some car just blew through a stop sign without seeing me.

Also, old people walk in the middle of the street at night and if you hit them it's your fault (If you're foreign and do that might as well just commit sudoku because it will be all over for you)

Is it just me or are there double posts?

Even at zebra crossings you are supposed to wait until its clear/people stop like they're supposed to. Not just run out randomly when obviously drivers can't see you.

Because they're watching anime.

>I almost got into a head on collision on a two way road that was only the width of one car
how is that suppossed to work? there are places like that on my city, but in the most abandoned areas where streets aren't even paved, and no one would give a fuck if the streets were one way, they would do what they want anyway

well, the guy driving that truck was just retarded or a murderer

You either pull to the side or you literally had to back up until an area that was wide enough for a car to pass.

To be fair that isn't an average road though, it was a mountain road that led to a community where the school (elementary through junior high) had a total of like 30 students.

Yeah but some of these fuckers aren't even slowing down at pedestrian crossings.

Oh, but at least you could go to the side. I thought that you were talking about one of those roads where the street ends and the line of building starts. Not even the Japanese can be that suicidal.

>passing a car that is stopped in front of a crosswalk in the morning when an elementary kid is on their way to school
Just give that driver the rope

Yeah sorry not that.
On some places you could pull to the side, some places it was cliff up on your left and cliff down on your right with barely enough room for one car to pass, so there you would need to back up carefully until there was an area where someone could pass.

I'd say that Japan was is on the way to that figure soon.

>Isn't the birth rate in Japan continually dropping and suicide rate really high?
No, for the thousandth time Japan has a higher birth rate than the vast majority of European countries once you remove immigrants from the equation. Second, only a turbo retard would think constant growth of population on an already overpopulated planet that's consuming resources far too quickly is a good thing.

wouldn't it be nice if there was an isekai where the driver would be sentenced to death and is than isekaid to the same world to fuck shit up?

That's irrelevant to the other truck.

Your truck has a utility crane, thus need to have axles under it, or extender legs.
The other truck have the majority of the weight on the rear axle, yet have two front, and one back.

It's like having a top fuel dragster swap front wheels with the rear wheels.

Most of the weight of both trucks is between the second and third axles. Two steered axles with one tire at each end is just far easier to package than a steered axle with dualies.

The rear axle on the dualies often steer as well though.

Motorcyclists are only a real issue when it's spics on rice rockets. Pickup truck drivers are the worst, especially if they work for some kind of blue collar service (i.e. lawn, pool cleaner, etc.) since the dipshits never fucking secure their shit.

So what? I don't know what planet you live on, but on this one you don't need to slow down just because you're near a crosswalk. In Japan it's considered jaywalking and they will ticket you if a cop sees you crossing at a crosswalk before the walk signal turns on.

How is it so low, is it just fewer drivers/more people taking trains? Japanese streets do not look safer than the American equivalents - at least we have way more sidewalks.

- Fewer people driving

- Getting a license actually requires you to learn how to drive

- Most people actually pay attention to crossing signals and don't cross unless they're allowed to do so

and we have mexican ricers. One of them splattered a high school girl a few years ago while drag racing

Me and my friend were in Tokyo and we were about to cross between parked cars and I poked my head out just as one of those trucks went flying past, very nearly got isekaid, now i understand the whole truck thing better

There is no fucking visibility. Tiny single lanes with houses hugging the sidewalk. The fault lies in the city planning.

>Those trucks straight up zooming through residential areas
What the fuck

A lower percentage of the population drives, driving school is really expensive, plus owning a car is more expensive (look up shaken/車検)

I think part of it is that the drinking limit for driving is literally 0, if you have one beer it is illegal to drive.
Japan and Korea have something kalled 代行 (daikou) that is like uber but 2 they come pick you up after you drink, and one will drive your car home, so you can drive to where you drink, then have someone drive you home. Not necessary in Tokyo obviously, but outside of big cities it's very convenient.
