ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Longer Heavier Vehicle

Imagine you have two toy cars, one small and light and the other bigger and heavier. When you push them across the floor, you might notice that the heavy car takes a little bit longer to stop. That's because it has more weight and momentum behind it.

Now, imagine this same idea but with real cars on a road. A longer, heavier vehicle can take longer to stop than a shorter, lighter vehicle. This is an important thing to remember when driving around or near these types of vehicles.

Additionally, longer and heavier vehicles can sometimes have more difficulty turning or maneuvering. Think about trying to turn a big, long truck around a tight corner. It might need more space, time, and careful turning to avoid hitting something or losing control.

Overall, longer and heavier vehicles require more attention and awareness from drivers and other people on the road because of their size and weight.
