shouldn't you have some kind of shadows, for those ... metal bars or whatever you would call em that link the wheels to the body?

Would that shadow on the "wall" be considered as a bug?

Yeah this one ^ thanks, the new one is a bit perverted.

Mhh... in progress of something.

Mite be not the right palce to ask, but i remember seeing here a thread bout someone's troubles... with tons of text. Was kinda busy at that time to read it all but I can't find it now :S

Grave Digger - Symphony of Death

So quality german speed metal (-:

I thought this was another crappy thread, but since when I noticed it's by Skawen - I shall believe it! Hopefully it'll be S1 rather than S2 (That'd be quite useful for me )

Go go go!

Mhh.... UK roads are brilliant where the hell does s14 live?

Quote from pb32000 :

When you have to drive 500 miles to the shops it doesn't make much difference

Exaggeration !

Well... maybe the roads aren't as good there but at least they can enjoy the nice V8s while we're stuck here with 3 times bigger fuel prices lol

Quote from BlueFlame :

He was talking about Truck - Car accidents, not general Traffic accidents iirc

Another good point since I even forgot what I was talking about!

Quote from Mikkel Petersen :

But how many cars are there on the road compared to trucks?

Good point And I don't know!

Haha.. went on trip to england this summer, travelled around 2000km in total I think.

Yeah they do that! It's not annoying personally, quite funny to watch. Why shouldn't you use up allll your speed!?? lol

Quote from S k i p p y :

Thanks, last I heard it was 70%, seems the cars are 3% less at fault than they used to be. Still doesn't change the fact that statistics say that people driving cars are more dangerous than semis.

Well someone rounded the 67% to 70% I believe. And considering that most trucks stay on the road all day long, while car drivers only couple hours and the number is still 70% that's quite decent!

Quote from S k i p p y :

Yep and inevitably they are always left lane campers and won't move over. Heh, what are you gonna do?

Well, you overtake em with the beeping lorry! Hah... all you need is a long stretch of straight road and no traffic coming towards you! (very unlikely here, but possible .

Going to read the rest of posts later tonight I think. Au revoir guys.

Ok au revoir, goin' to school. Only had 4 hours of leep .. dear dear... stupid homework.

Well the most fun part is being stuck behind a sports car which ain't even reaching the road speed limit!

Well can't remember personally what the speed limits for trucks are here, but most of them have limiters.

My dad often gets pissed off at how some people overtake on a single-carriageway and then brake straight away imagining that 30 ton (with load) lorry will have the same braking distance as the car lol

Quote from BlueFlame :

Speed-limit for UK trucks is 56mph, most EU trucks are 80kph to my knowledge. Overdriving is stupid, there's a few EU drivers that do it so they can earn more money, it's not really that common of a thing for a driver to be driving over the limit, seems to be just Polish drivers and Portugese as a rule.

I was talking about US speed limits. Well my dad drives a lorry here in Scotland, and there's no real way of avoiding the required stops since everything is monitored and you can get checked by police anytime. You'd be in deep shit if you got into an accident and didn't have all the allocated stops throughout the day.

Well yes but if people are working more hours than they really should be then it simply suggests that there is a need for more truckers. I don't think it would be physically healthy for someone to constantly keep on doin' 15 hours a day, without proper stops.

Also I'm kinda of confused about the truck speed limits. Everyone keeps on talkin about doing 70-80 mph, but ain't that only for passenger cars? Wiki seems to think that trucks have speed limit of 55mph as far as I can understand.

Uh little fact, (remember someone discussing about how many accidents are cause by retarded drivers.) "Two thirds (67%) of truck/passenger car crashes are the fault of the passenger vehicle."

Maybe this.. http://www.boomerangskips.ie/images/skip-truck.jpg

Yeah seen road trains (not in real life obviously)

Thanks for all the posts, but just a wee reminder if anyone is up for more discussion. This ain't the right place for trying to prove whose trucks are better ok ? :P Cause yall just end up killin' each other Live In Peace!

Yo guys, there is no need to insult each other!!! Happy forum please. Grrr...

ahhahahahaha yeee

EU trucks do have sleepin space in the back as well, though possibly yes not as huge as some US trucks.

But about engines... most of the trucks tend to pull same kinda weight? so... what's the.. ehm point.

Hello,

I was wondering if there are any other reasons for US trucks having long bonnets unlike EU trucks apart from length limitations?

The classic boxy layout which is seen a lot over here http://www.viotransgrup.ro/images/galerie/volvo01.jpg

And some newer US truck http://www.joplinfreightliner.com/images/history.jpg
