Free CadimageTools Tracking Curve Tool

I wish that this tool was available when I was hitting the roads with my truck signing Born To Be Wild ! 

The description says :
The Vehicle Tracking Curves tool allows you to insert tracking curves quickly & easily into your ArchiCAD projects.
Simply set the vehicle shape & size, and your curve radius. You will get an accurate forward tracking curve for that setup, and you will be able to drag the vehicle to anywhere on the curve to see how it follows it.
