I used to have no worries about my kids playing in the street here (Norway), but I've noticed a few of these big trucks lately – I cannot understand how their drivers can be able to see a five year old running around it?

The five year old just needs to stay at least 2.5m [1] away from the driver and there aren't any problems!

They don't. In the US, most children killed by cars had even been run over in the family's own driveway — because the SUV/truck had poor visibility.
