> I'd much rather have the shorter and safer trucks around than the current US designs. My grandmother's best friend, when I was a child, was killed by a truck running over her while she was in a crosswalk (legally crossing the street). The light turned green while she was in front of the truck and he ran her over. They are so tall and set back so far, many of them can't see a person walking right in front of it.
