    That's the sort of behavior I have to deal with on a daily basis. The idiots who want to drive faster than the flow of traffic, weaving in and out, chopping and changing lanes, albeit at or below the speed limit, are a danger to themselves and all around them; unlike the car driven sensibly three kays over the limit.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    yep, seen that more than a few times myself....


    What use to be an automatic, "Stop, some of your training may be required here, its the right thing to do" is now so evenly drawn down against my desire to see Darwinism in effect that I have to make a conscious effort to come to the conclusion that yes, I should help out because Its potential negligence if I don't.

    Not too sure about Victoria, but in NSW, travelling in the right hand lane on roads over 80km/hr unless you're overtaking is illegal. On the same token, undertaking on roads posted 80km/hr and above is illegal.

    The person in the cameldore is a complete idiot, but there's a big problem with driver's on the road NOT getting out of the right hand lane. Selfishness? maybe, but I'm of the firm belief that accident figures and driver frustration would be less if people got out of that lane unless they actually required to use it.

    The truck is travelling significantly faster than the ute and trailer and about to pass.

    Can some one explain , with a speed limit of 100 kph, two lanes. Stay in the left lane unless overtaking, the left lane sticking to 100 kph, does that mean you have to all stick in the left lane? Or can the left lane stay at say, 70 kph, if they feel comfortable with that, & the 100 kph drivers pass, but have to shift to the 70 kph mob when finished passing? When did we become obsessed with speed, the only sensible driving in Australia is on gridlocked city roads. Bob
