Trucks designed for long distance hauling make it possible for the drivers to have good view of what’s ahead. Though inertia makes it hard to stop if you dart in front of ’em.
What DOES kill folks, far too often, are super-big family vans etc that have a long blind spot in front. Parents HAVE run over their kids because they simply could not see them right up close to their vehicle. Such designs should not just be outlawed, but the designers should serve serious time at hard labor. At least.
