Pick up trucks. They are great for picking up mucky stuff and sheep rustling. Nothing else.
Worryingly, with pick up trucks selling at rate of 1 in 5 vehicles in the US and 1 in 50 in the UK, motorists are starting to favour them as a family runabout. Why? Well it’s the similar Range Rover type smugness that it induces with its lofty seating position. As you look down upon the masses in their economy boxes, you know the practicality of your trunk to carry a dozen sheep gives you a sense of purpose. And if called for, you can drive across a field to rescue the local farmers dog in peril. Whilst it’s got leaf springs from a 50’s morris minor, on the road it’s only second quickest to a white transit van. So it’s quick! You can park in the disabled and child bays with no moral quandary, as pick ups are exempt from those rules at any supermarket car park. Plus, if you have children, then indeed what safer than a ladder framed 2 ton truck to ferry those little darlings to school?
So with this in mind, I think we should encourage rustlers and farmers to stop using pick up trucks and buy hatchbacks to cart about all those errant sheep and move their mucky stuff. This should help make more pick up trucks available for the school run. Makes complete sense to me.
