Around here pickup trucks have another job as their primary purpose. And they're quite good at it too. Their job is to be as annoying and downright stupid as humanly possible. I've lost count of how many perfectly good parking spots close to stores that I've seen ruined by horrible parking jobs by pickup trucks. One guy even took up half a handicapped spot. I'm not one for vandalization but I seriously considered keying his truck and letting the air out of his tires for that one.
In traffic jams they take up as much space as two normal cars, further delaying everyone else. From what I've seen trucks must be sold without working turn signals. As for highway driving well, it would be easier to find good music by a rap artist than to find a pickup truck that isn't speeding, tailgating, or both. Sometimes they score bonus points for themselves by doing this while they're doing the job described by Exbok.
