Most comments in this thread are underestimating this point. I grew up in Italy (where virtually all trucks are cabover), and I now live in Australia (where conventional cabs are common). The road conditions are completely different. Can you imagine a conventional driving through Florence? Obviously it wouldn't be ideal.
- ajmurmann 5y agoThere are also lots of European trucks that can't drive everywhere in Florence. There were roads in Borgia, Spain my navigation system sent me down in a rented passenger car where I literally want able to turn because it was too narrow. Till the regulation is gone, everything else is just speculation about what would happen without it.
