Reduced visibility for the driver, especially in urban areas or on narrow roads, increases the risk of collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians. Many logging trucks operate on mountain roads or forest trails, which can be narrow, winding and in poor condition. roads dirt or slippery surfaces, especially during adverse weather conditions, pose a significant risk to the stability of the vehicle.
