    You are aware this isn't a standard window that would be used for anything? The truck driver can kill pedestrians very much without that, thank you, sir and goodbye!

    Edit: welp, you learn something new every day. Turns out the dog is helping kill pedestrians after all!

      In the UK and EU, windows in similar positions are mandated on construction trucks to give the driver a view of other road users when manoeuvring in urban environments. They were brought in after pedestrians and cyclists were killed by having been in trucks’ blind spots.
