    It's same case here in Poland, sometimes profit from non-typical (like heavy, oversize) job is so big that even if you are caught 10% of time it still makes sense to pay ticket, and do it again o_O
    Hold my beer.

    To be honest, I like outlawing from time to time. Not much things to do these days, but running on Highway when it's traffic ban in Germany brings some smile to my face :D

    So I get it; American drivers don't like European cab over trucks because they're not American. A bit like only Americans can tolerate Harleys. Now we know.

    More like the infrastructure over here doesn't require short cabovers so why would we give up the the extra room of a long hood truck if we don't need to?
