The length is bad but the 0.5cm extra width per year strikes me as much worse. There’s a lot of room for longer vehicles than the average cars of yesteryear - vans and light trucks have always been around. But those vehicles tended to only be slightly wider, if at all, in order to fit into lanes on the road, parking spaces, through gateways and so on. Half a centimetre wider per year is insane.
I would hope countries will just stop approving cars as road legal if they are too wide to fit on the roads.
I do occasionally see the odd range rover in the Netherlands. It’s always hilariously out of place, and of course does not fit in any single parking space here. But they have to drive around with a special license plate for import vehicles, apparently it’s fine then.
How about the dumbshits that import Ram trucks there? Recently read an article about it. I dunno how any of you guys could drive our pickup trucks at all there.
Publicly downvoting someone for not announcing where they live is a hilarious way of telling everyone you have the emotional fortitude of a 9 year old.

There are loads here, and I immediately think that whoever’s driving it is a bad person.
Where’s “here”?
You can work it out from my other posts but I don’t go around advertising it when I can help it…

Maybe you need to invite in China’s “belt and road” people to cinch in that extra width.
