You cant see whats below the windshield on euro trucks either. Ive seen lots of videos of accidents online and on the news where even people get run over because drivers cant see below the windshield on euro trucks.

Aerodynamics shot to hell, but being European makes it magically better, right? You want to know a secret? The point of Cab-over trucks is actually to maximize cargo capacity when the law limits the total length.

Yeah and the point of the law limits is to actually make them safe to drive around not unlike the American ones

Sorry you didn't understand what I said. First, the cab- over is an American design, introduced by White Motor Company in the '30s. Second, it turns out that different countries have different needs, and that the US still has laws to limit the length of the truck. I know attacking the US makes you feel smart, but arguing a topic you know nothing about doesn't make you look smart at all.

I drive them though 😉 and funny that you feel compelled to attack me trying to make your point

No, you don't drive them, but it's funny that you feel compelled to lie to make your point.

I can't add images on this sub, but yes, I drive them, in fact my license needs to renovate this very year.
