Its also to do with visibilty,ie if u see a big red pump with 30 LEDs and roof beacons comin towards an intersection(its not hard to miss if ur paying attention) and ive always known froma young age that ther wil always be a small one following it ie light tanker,u have to be careful tho coz the pump will brake alot better then the takerTyranus wrote:Something to do with the bigger car usually wins theory?? lolFastlane wrote:That and you have the added advantage that people usually *do* get out of the way when a large truck is barrelling down at them.
