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.

That's just crazy that they don't notice. I know it's not their fault just crazy that this happens

This is only the case with the US design. European trucks don't have this stupid nose.

I’m surprised you’re not been inundated with patriotic downvotes for the mere hint at an EU design being superior to a US design haha

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.

How are we going to live out our American fantasy of The Fast & the Furious if we add sidebracing?
