    Yup exactly, I can see the sides been peeled off cars with those, maybe a longer wheelbase and steer axles to compensate might be better

    yeah but weight distribution would be bad

    i consider even today 13.6m trailers as too long

    and i can make new law i would back to 12.6m

    tail is too long trailers have problems with its length and bending
