Their trucks don't (Scania being the exception) maybe Volvo? .....try a MAN ( I've figured out what MAN stands for ....many alterations needed

Our 640hp (drives like a 540) comes to a complete stop empty going around a roundabout with a B train behind it ...........................................w hile you wait for the throttle to return

How do you put up with it? Do the brake lights come on or you risk Arty Aotearoa in his 1988 jap import crashing into, the back of it?

It's just the resistance of dragging two tri sets of duals around a roundabout as you throttle off into it .....I guess they don't design them to go around silly little roundabouts in Europe?
