    In the first 11 seconds of this video, Can anyone give me an explanation as to why the wheels on the dump trailer are 3 times the size of the van's wheels. Could it be the angle of the camera?

    Because it's always cool to ride in the left lane beside a dump trailer at highway speed and shoot video while talking. Dude kind of needs to mind his own driving.
    Wtf is wrong with people?

    /It's a perspective thing with the larger-appearing wheels. They're the same size.

    ALL truck tires are 3 times larger then van tires.

    dude pretty obsessed with that truck. noticed gps both front and back. bet he's the local snitch. or highway patrol. and he didn't even say a word about the truck kissing his rear.

    Guy with the camera and big mouth is a dangerous driver also. Driving beside the dump box, he is speeding also and has been in every lane several times. He speeds up and slows down changes lanes to the point he is a danger to other vehicles in the area. He should get his act straight before attempting to be a traffic cop. The dump box is driving improperly but so is the camera man. GLASS HOUSE

    I didn't mean literally 3 times the size. I just thought they looked taller than the normal which we see on every tractor trailer.
