I've watched these videos sometimes, and just boggles me why the F they are hauling stuff on the curviest roads in the world with a semi-trailer... Couldn't they find anything longer? A normal 3-axle truck with a full trailer would be a lot handier there... Oh well, every country to their own, Finland is one of the only countries in the world where the total max weight of a tractor/trailer combo is as much as 60 metric tons... Semi trailers are next to useless here in the wintertime cause they get stuck into every single hill and crossing... Counted five last winter that I helped from a pinch, for some reason russian trucks never carry any gravel with them, I ALWAYS have a full box with me to throw under the tires, my MAN's rear end is really light because of the long axle span...

There are lots of similar vids from The Dragon on youtube. Many accidents caused from it.

This is something our instructor showed us when I was on a forklift driving class one weekend.
