Unless they have some sort of advanced materials science in other countries we don’t know about here in the US that makes them as light as cardboard, I’d bet my year’s salary you wouldn’t volunteer to let one hit you.

And yes, I have been out of the US. Shall I tell you what we say about those who “assume” things over here?

North america is the only place where the trucks are this wide, and where the firedept has the power to regulate the size of infrastructure (and where bike lanes can be) for their increasingly large trucks.

But don’t watch the video or anything, keep arguing your ignorance.
