20 years ago i worked a few months at a local branch of road paving contractor. One lowbed driver consequently put a classic 60s era bicycle on the middle of his trailer, tied down with four heavy straps, just to catch stares and smiles
My friend drove behind a milk collection truck and saw him ride an oncoming car off a narrow road on a dike with big oaks on both sides. The car had to duck between two big trees to avoid collision and could barely stop before hitting a tree, and continued to lean over in the corner after the bridge into town. He called the trucking company, mentioned the time, location and license plate, reported the unsafe events, and said "i think you should know. Now its up to you to decide how to follow up" The owner explained, the last collector to arrive at the cheese factory has to wait till the others were emptied and flushed before its his turn, so they try to be there first.
A Unimog has portal axles for that reason. Although the diff is still the lowest point, they are lifted high enough to not get the chassis highcentered on a bump. Ground clearance under the axle is important, but especially on a long wheelbase truck, isnt what gets you stuck on a trail.
He shoulda bought the non-sunroof version.
