I got in an argument with a toaster and now I lost a bet and I’m here just to get my house back.

    I understand it, but I don’t think it applies.

    Gamers tend to think of things as quests. A box to check off. A completionist. Getting married and having kids is part of life’s quests for many people. It’s not seen as collaboration in many ways.

    4 if it’s good weather. 8 times in bad. Your reaction time in a bigger vehicle is different because of the weight. So both your guesses apply.

    Maintaining distance does help, however it’s not a perfect matrix. People cut in front of big vehicles constantly expecting the same distance and it just doesn’t help. The added view helps. An entire industry is based on it and backed by all sorts of reasons.

    What they haul plays a role as well. Liquids and gases slosh funny and higher speeds.

    As a truck driver I get it. It’s nice to see more. The tradeoff isn’t worth it and not why they do it. I would bet my paycheck they never take it off road either. Which would be the only good reason to raise something that much. Truckers have a good reason to. They have giant engine and transmissions that need to last for the industrial work involved.
