Thread: Got an ear Full!

And that is a large part of the problem, no national uniform laws. It still differs state to state. It depends but a lot of triples are allowed to still do 100 in WA. Then there are special speed zones such as Greenmount. No wonder interstate drivers can get confused, especially if they have not been to a particular state.

My current drive (KW T650) is rated for 90 tonnes GCM, and registered for single, b double, heavy haulage, and Type 1 roadtrain. With 550hp it is a far cry from the first one I drove (Flintstone Mack with a "C" motor, around 250hp IIRC) That one pulled 75 tonnes (tons back then ) to the Gulf Country. I would have loved to have been able to do 70kmh when that was loaded!

Ah don't worry about it mate, the bloke probably just needed to get some stuff off his chest. As long as he didn't harm you or your truck!

Some people just need an excuse to act like a dipstick and apparently doing it on the UHF is acceptable behaviour...
