Overtaking a truck is one of the most dangerous manoeuvres in modern driving, with the sheer size of lorries obscuring the view ahead and potentially leaving other drivers frustrated. But Korean technology firm Samsung has showcased a remarkable solution to the problem that could reduce collisions and injuries.

Cameras mounted on the front of the truck pass a signal wirelessly to four screens on the rear of the truck’s load area, allowing drivers to pass with greater safety.

Amazing truck technology could save lives - BT

And on longer straight roads, it could show a film.

Wonder how it would go in Oz as we have trucks that are so long that to pass you need to pack a cut lunch.....

I would probably stay behind the truck and wait for the news to come on.
