I am surprised by the long hood/nose and then thick bumpers.

By law, there’s usually 6-10’ space requirement for parking near a mailbox on a street. And cars rarely follow those rules, parking pretty close to mailboxes.

So I’d expect the front end to be as short as possible so driver can more easily maneuver to reach mail boxes.

Usually? I've lived in 3 states and none of them had this requirement. The closest is California which merely requires that a parked car not "obstruct the normal movement" of a mail carrier.


Presumably the mailmen can just take a lesson from Amazon, UPS et al and leave the vehicle idling in the travel lane when that happens.
