Why do busses, trucks have a nearly horizontal steering wheel compared to regular cars?
In: 673
Most trucks and cars hove power steering. However, it’s useful to have a backup.
In your car, this isn’t an issue. But in a truck/bus, you’ll need leverage, especially if turning while stationary. A vertical wheel would require pushing yourself either into the air or into your seat. A horizontal wheel, however, can push your back into the seat, or pull against your legs.
