Why do they do this?And don’t forget, when you get to any straight “passing” stretch of road, or specific “passing lanes”, speed up to **** off everyone behind you that’s been held up for the last ten or so clicks.
In the loaded D2,TD5,if it was up a hill i often couldn't get past them,then i would get stuck behind them again for the next 20K or so.
I don't know how truck drivers put up with it,maybe they cautiously push them accidentally off the road....

SupporterYes even if you don't have a dog, like me, also I found dog food is cheap and tasty and made my hair (coat) nice and shiny, and didn't seem to have any side affects, until I was hit by a car, while licking myself in the middle of the road!

I know a couple of old truckies who genuinely hit caravans by accident. One was at a crawl up the steep bit on the Gap following a van and car. The car driver missed the shift getting into first and just stopped. He got about 38 tonnes of Road Commander and tri-axle fair up the bum. He said he was amazed to find vans were made out of chipboard and plastic and just fell to pieces from a gentle nudge. Corn flakes, clothes, tins of baked beans, tampons, nappies, etc all over the road.Why do they do this?

I like that definition of 'accident' and the adverb 'genuinely' qualifying the verb 'hit'.

Ive seen one spontaneously fragment when it was passed by a road train, the windows on the windward side had been left or had slid open, when the windward side happens to be the drivers side and an oncoming double deck road train being hauled by a cabover making time in the other direction the intantaneous over pressure tends makes for Wash level "interesting".

Yes, licking one's balls in the middle of a busy road is certainly fraught with danger.
Some useful ideas there, but not the ball-licking one.
We are currently experimenting with making our own ice coffees. Tried a few different recipes and getting better at it. Of course, they have to be drunk within a couple of days or they go off.

I seriously doubt you could make iced coffee for less than $2.50 a litre.Some useful ideas there, but not the ball-licking one.

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
