Have You Suffered Due To A Collision With A Truck? Cars usually get the worst end of the bargain when involved in a crash with a truck. A loaded large truck takes up to 20-50% more road space to stop when compared to cars, and this percentage is even higher on wet or slippery roads. In addition, if the brakes of the truck are poorly maintained, things get even worse.
