Lemmy, open the article. It's 6k vehicles per year in a continent of half a billion people.

It's on the rise, as in before it was nobody, and now 0.1% of the farmers bought one. And a 100 lunatics.

It's still illegal to drive and park in most places due to size, so as a pesky city dweller, I probably still won't get to see any.
