Bobtail actros on A1m extracts £100

I’ve seen numerous videos of seat belt tests with Volvo trucks.

If you aren’t wearing a belt and the truck goes over you stand a very high chance of being killed. You may well be ejected from the vehicle, then crushed by it (so much for those who think they can escape by jumping out).

The truck’s cab structure and safety systems (airbags etc) are designed to protect the belted-in driver…they won’t help you if you are thrown forward through the windscreen or tumbled about in the cab.
