Drivers looking at their cell phone instead of the road are especially shit.
Cell phones and hoods you can't see over. American trucks have become absolutely massive and leave a huge blind spot in front. Saw a video where a guy was standing in the engine compartment of a Tundra. There was a enough room between the engine and the grill that he could comfortably stand on the ground.
There's a video illustrating how many kids can be in front of a pick-up truck before the driver can see them... hint: it was A LOT.
@Showroom7561 @jewbacca117 It's a tangent, but the number of Hiluxs that can be parked around a mining haul truck and be invisible to the truck driver is another visibility video that is enlightening to watch.
