I’ve never seen guards like this either, but more importantly I’ve never seen the large gaps in the side that guides victims to fall beneath multiple wheels.

I opened Google Street View and “drove” along Mannerheimintie. Here are images of all trucks I found along the “drive”:
…and then I figured I’d try some rednecky place, and the most redneck place I could pick from my hat was Kauhava (sorry, everyone in Kauhava). I figure that if in some place they drive trucks with illegal modifications, then that’s there.
So, I went for truck hunt there as well, which turned out to be much more difficult than I thought! Anyway, here:
I am not able to find a truck in Finland that does not have those protecting devices installed. And I don’t think I have ever seen one.
I’ve never seen those guards in Finland, which is part of the E.U.
