  1. Semi-combinations have a maximum length in Europe. That is why we have hardly any torpedo trucks: every meter that the truck sticks out beyond the trailer means less loading capacity.

  2. The tachograph is used for checking on speeding, but it is mainly used to check that the driver takes his obligatory rest periods. In Europe, we like our heavy transport drivers fresh and rested. Tired drivers make accidents. It also gives the driver power to push back against unrealistic demands from their employers. With the system, employers can't cut corners at the expense of drivers.
