That's a major marketing point for "light trucks" actually

"Killed a kid on a bike because you couldn't see over the hood? The roads are dangerous! It's their fault for not driving something safer like the Kinderstampferwagen K3500™"

I started cycling on the wrong side of the road because I can be responsible for my own safety that way. I can't count the number of times I've been endangered by some driver acting like I wasn't on the road at all while going on the right side.

When I have to bike in a zone without bike path I take the entire road. Im usually stuck behind a car anyway, so the cars stuck behind me don't tried to overpass me.
