Trucks measure 11 foot six inches by 28 feet which was a revelation to me. I will keep further to the left next time I see an 11 foot six wide truck approaching.
Thank goodness the asteroid was not the size of the Eiffel Tower, a jumbo jet , the Statue of Liberty, Titanic or some other equally scientific unit of measurement.

Trucks, or lorries as Christians call them, or road trains as drivers with flip-flops call them, must have 3 dimensions unless they have an overdrive and can move at the speed of light. Their static dimensions are always quoted in Olympic Swimming Pool equivalents.
