goldierocks said:Truckies include the best and worst of drivers. Tailgating on Melbourne's freeways is one of their worst crimes (one B-double side-swiped me smashing in the side of my vehicle, and kept going, his overloaded trailer swinging back and forward over the width of three lanes). A few tailgate for the fun of frightening people, if no one else is watching....(listen on UHF)BigWave said:I'm sure many car drivers annoy many truckies, but I've also seen many bad truckies.
Maybe it's the tiredness from long hours?
Sorry if that pisses some of you off, but it most definitely cuts BOTH ways.
We just gotta be courteous of each other on the roads.
Sounds like the Western Ring-road.
One minute you cruising along at 100km/hr in the right lane, look in your mirror nothing behind.
Next minute you hear a truck exhaust break and bugger me not much more than a metre between the two.
A guy i work with, daughter married a truck driver , he was at a family BBQ last year and mentioned he pushed an old Lady in a Corolla of
the freeway for doing 15kms / hr below the speed limit? Attendees at the BBQ asked if he stopped, was car damaged etc?
To which he just laughed she will never do that again? I guess no witness or dash cam footage but thats pretty bad.
