The way when I have to make a left turn with a low-loader and a f-off big excavator on it, which will only just fit around the intersection, and I make the move on a green light, but take it slow, like you would in real life, and then the lights change while I'm still makin' the turn and some a-hole in a crappy car has to come and pull onto the intersection 'cos his light's green and he can't see the f-off big yellow excavator on a trailer with big stripes and lights on the side which is about 10 yards in front of him... so the tail of the trailer trashes his POS and, and this is the bit I hate, the goddam game decides that this minor contact has damaged the load! 
Hell, the excavator could drive right over his POS car and flatten it to about 6" thick, and not even get scratched. Same goes for the trailer, those things are tough.
Mind, it was worth it delivering to that mine to the north of Monterey (dunno if it's in the normal game, this is Phantom's World, and with "real companies" mod it's a 3M site), now that's a cool road (switchbacks in low gear, and shootin' the finger at the twit in a car hooting behind
) and a cool drop-point, took me a couple of minutes to work out where the thing had to go.
