Hell old jeeps are a fraction of today’s trucks and SUVs in size and could go deeper into rural territories.
TBH I don’t think we have to read these posts as shaming the driver of these cars, necessarily. We could read them as indictments of all the choices we’ve made as a society that result in poor transit options & large vehicles.

Choices like:
All of these are worthy of critique and fair targets
You have a far more positive outlook than me. I’ve seen quite a bit of shaming at drivers. ESPECIALLY truck drivers.
