Other countries have vehicles that are sized to accommodate the conditions; smaller roads, less space, and different emissions laws. America wasn't built based on 1,500+ year old roads.
You can't have an 8ft wide dually with a 20ft trailer to take an excavator to a job site in London, you need a lorry. You would be laughed at because you can't maneuver that setup around and would get fucked in pinch points on a one-way street.
Said like someone whose driving test involves mostly ordering a burger at a drive through 😂

You're adorable.
