Says it all really.

Not mentioned in this video are the correspondingly higher headlights. I'm sure that contributes to the danger (are there any studies that confirm this?)


I do hope this is seriously considered. Just how and why does it make any sense to not be fully aware of what’s around your car? 12 cones to see what’s ahead of you on the road? Wow.

The adjustment of heights to make the trucks safer (for others) seems very minimal.
