Why do large trucks get into collisions when making a wide turn?

Because people try to turn inside the path of the trailer. They don't understand that the trailer is going to follow a different path thru the turn than the tractor.
They also don't understand that when a tractor and trailer are in a turn, that the mirrors are absolutely useless to the driver. All he can see in the mirror is the side of the trailer. He cannot see the idiots trying to sneak around him inside the turn.

Can matter turn into light?
Today not; probable it will be possible in the future by collisions between photons.
Explain why large trucks have bigger steering wheels than small trucks or cars?
The rotation of the steering shaft drives the turning of the wheels, and buses and large trucks have wheels which are significantly more massive than cars' and light trucks', requiring more torque on the steering shaft to turn the wheels. The larger steering wheel gives a mechanical advantage in turning the steering shaft; a longer moment-arm from the application of force by the driver on the steering wheel results in a larger torque on the steering shaft from the same force applied.
What is the connection between temperature collisions and reaction rate?
More collisions between particles of matter means a faster reaction rate. When you increase the kinetic energy of a sample of matter, you increase the number of particle collisions, as well as the force with which they collide. This in turn increase the rate of reaction.

Which trucks bend in the middle?
Long articulated trucks, which pull separate trailers, bend in the middle. If they didn't, they wouldn't be able to turn round sharp corners. Shorter trucks, which are built in one piece and don't bend in the middle, are called rigid trucks.
Where can one search for more information about food trucks in NYC?
Roaminghunger.com/NY and newyorkstreetfood.com/ can provide information about the location of the food trucks in New York City. In turn, this would give an idea of the quantity of such trucks.
