I got an excellent first hand demonstration of that. One weekend afternoon I had left a section of an extension ladder outside, and my wife didn’t want to put it away herself. So she thought it would be a good idea to lay it along the edge of driveway in front of the passenger side of my parked truck’s garage stall, so that I’d see it and hang it back in the garage before driving off the next morning. I literally could not see an inch of the 12’ long ladder sticking straight out from in front of the garage, so I of course destroyed it immediately as I pulled out.
And this was in a Ford Ranger pickup truck, which in America is considered a very small truck . Of course I eventually replaced it with an F-150 in order to pull our caravan. And now I can’t even see the end of the driveway over the hood of that kaiju.
