    Those huge American style lorries are mental at the front. They look cool, but what a wild blind spot.

    Check out European lorries (like those in Euro Truck Sim for example), the cab ends at the window. Still a powerful beast but compact, and with fewer blind spots. So much easier to drive.

    Still some blind spots though, be careful round em :-D

      I’m guessing the European ones are harder to get into, though, or have less sleeping space. That engine has to go somewhere,

      The European cab-over trucks are very common in Australia in urban areas, but out in the middle of the outback the American style are far more comfortable to live with.
