Mounting points for a lot of tanks in on side, so weakest point of tank on side. Car/Truck go round roundabout, diesel move to edge - get outside crack and drop on road.
This is why they get you to ride in the right hand wheel mark behind car. As spills are more to middle (if it tracks on the outside of tank) or to the left side.
If we were in States, diesel spill would be on other-side......

No it's not.
There are many reasons for this advice, but being seen/able to see are the biggies.
