If you want to drive such a massive car my hot take is that you should have to spend the day walking alongside roads with an unpredictable toddler and see how it feels to be surrounded by drivers you know can't see the kid because their bonnet is so high.

This time stamp is really typical of journeys I need to make - roughly similar times by car or bike, at least twice as slow by public transport and generally too far to walk, especially with a child in tow if the child is walking themselves.
