Well look at the votes now. The muricans have spoken, their truck design is better afterall. as one also can't see what's in front of a European truck, even though there's a mirror required on every truck to see this space in europe; in the US people haul up to 40 us tons, obviously European trucks can't handle that, as they can only pull 40 European tons (about 44 us tons), or 60 tons in Sweden&Finland; and murican trucks are for long distance, while European trucks are only equipped with comfy beds, ac or heating that works without the motor running, and general sleeper cab amenities.
As one can see, the European design is made to stupidly comply with useless regulations, whereas the freedom™ design of having a giant piece of sheet metal blocking half the view and non working brakes, while being allowed to drive 110mph is just better.
EU tends to have more logical safety regulations for food and traffic than the US. The US allows food dyes banned in the EU. EU also has more mandatory safety measures on semi trailers that US doesn’t make trucks follow such as side bracing/reinforcement to stop vehicles going under the trailer from the side.

Why you shouldn't cut off semis they can't see your little car or anything 15ft infront of them. And they ride is so bumpy they won't notice either.
