Agree Phil, and guess most of us are "amateurs".
I've driven very large agricultural machinery (combines) on the road but not a truck the size of a C60. However, once it's was down off the back of James's truck it was a slightly more manageable height, but still need to be aware .... and try to follow something taller.

I understand that in the Netherlands a special (Heavy Goods?) licence is required, while in UK I can drive any vehicle up to 7.5 tonnes on my car licence.
