  • Top notch podcast

    Very good podcast! Professional, well presented, and informative. I enjoyed the episode about oversized cars.

    But it is a bit quiet. Would be good if you could use more compression, as I can’t hear everything unless I’m sitting in a quiet room.

Q: What defines a future classic according to Simon McGrath?

#5 Truckzillas: Why Do our Cars Just Keep Getting Bigger?
Q: What are the safety implications for vulnerable road users?
Larger vehicles pose greater risk to pedestrians and cyclists due to higher bonnets, larger blind spots, and difficulties in seeing smaller road users; protection for occupants does not translate into safety for others.

Q: Why are we starting to supersize our cars?
