The same could be said of much smaller vehicles. I can loose entire
cars behind the A pillars, if they time their approach at just the
right time. I suppose the only vehicle which doesn't suffer these sorts
of problem is a motorbike - 360 all round vision all the way back to
the perimeter of your vehicle.

You don't drive a Vauxhall by any chance?

No, why? The same applies to most/all modern vehicles.

I was in Sandbach (grew up there) yesterday for their annual transport
festival. That is just down the road from Arclid where they are based.

Saw one of my old school freinds and he pointed at an Arclid Transport
tanker and did you see the Youtube video of one theirs.

Hadn't heard about it until he told me.
None of the wagons on display had marks on the grille so they must have
avoided bringing that one.
