#Gefahr im #Straßenverkehr: Immer mehr Riesen- #SUVs auf Deutschlands Straßen
#Amerikanische #Pickups sind auch in #Berlin zunehmend beliebt. Dabei brauchen sie eine Einzelgenehmigung – die offenbar leicht zu bekommen ist. Der #DUH zufolge kommen die per Einzelgenehmigung zugelassenen Autos auch um die sonst vorgeschriebenen #Abgastests herum, von #Klimaschutzvorgaben nicht zu reden #Autokorrektur

Der Tagesspiegel · Gefahr im Straßenverkehr: Immer mehr Riesen-SUVs auf Deutschlands StraßenBy Stefan Jacobs

Die Zulassungen von US-Pick-ups in Europa steigen trotz ihrer drei- bis neunmal höheren CO2-Emissionen im Vergleich zu EU-Neuwagen. Dank einer Sonderregelung umgehen sie europäische CO2- und #Sicherheitsvorgaben. Die #Umweltschutzorganisation Transport & Environment (T&E) warnt vor den Umwelt- und #Sicherheitsrisiken dieser #Fahrzeuge und fordert ein Schließen des Zulassungsschlupflochs.

TLDR by Kagi.com:

- Cars in the US have grown significantly larger over time, with SUVs and pickup trucks now making up over 80% of new car sales.
- This "car bloat" has led to increased safety risks, higher greenhouse gas emissions, and more wear and tear on roads and infrastructure. (1/4)

@threetails @douglasvb @GreenFire @fuchsiii @notjustbikes and yes the only contractors driving #Pickups in #Europe are #Gardeners and others who use the bed to stow bulky tools and materials like bags of soil and rocks and sit-on mowers and snowplows and so forth...

Stuff they'd otherwise put on a seperate trailer...

My brother spotted a rare picture of a pick up actually being used to transport something.

Something, that would easily fit even into a typical hatchback car, or a small city car if you fold back seats (been there, done that).

Something that would be easier to load into a car, as it sits lower.

Something that would be protected from elements inside a car.

And something that is not secured by straps so can fall out at any bump.

But at least it's something.

Picked up these #secondHand copies of #TombRaider and #BorderlandsThePreSequel for the #PS3 from #GameStop today.
Tomb Raider was 50% off, so I got it for about 25 NOK (≈ 2,57 EUR; 2.93 USD).
#Borderlands The Pre-Sequel I got for 10 NOK (≈ 1,03 EUR; 1.17 USD).
I've never played any of either series before, but I've heard much praise about both, so for these prices I just had to pick them up, even though I'm still deep in #Diablo3.
