Coz she was on the wrong side of the road blocking oncoming traffic.

I drive througfh there quite often in my truck, you'd be surprised how many people do this. At least they have the courtesy to get out of the way....

I see this type of idiocy every day, you learn to accept it and not worth the trouble most of the time...

Cab drivers are the best though, especially when someone puts their hand up on the footpath, cabbie comes in from the right lane pit stop styles!!!! Have come close to taking a few out over the years....

without watching it again isnt she on teh wrong side of the road because a truck is parked in her lane and she has no choice but to go around it? thus the truck should have waited and not been a cawk about it.

Yup, there is that too and by a truck no less.

That would have been very very nasty.

B doubles 60 tonnes loaded add the weight of truck and trailers together you have the best part of nearly 100 tonnes. no open casket if that had of happened.

also without watching it again it looked like she was going the wrong way down a one way street. Just what I saw anyway I could be wrong of course

Your wrong again, here's the deal.

The Linfox truck Is stationary at the set of lights waiting to turn into Victoria street. South auderley road is a two way street so the lady in the car for whatever reason has attempted to overtake the truck on the wrong side of the road. The Linfox truck is not parked or blocking the road, it's waiting for the green light to turn into Victoria street. So therefore the twit in the car is in the wrong and the b-double had every right to drive in the lane it did and should have not waited for the car to pass as it would have blocked Victoria street causing mayhem.

Hope that helps.

My arguement is, I see a LOT of truck drivers doing well over the 100 kmh speed limit; Yet their trucks apparently say "90 kmh speed restricted"? Some idiots need their licence taken away.

Im on the road day in day out for work as well, And even I've seen some pretty crazy shit.

You need to respect trucks on the road, Look at their tare weight. They are beasts on the road.

I take my hat off to the guy who recorded that. We need more drivers like HIM on the road, And not wankers who think a 40tonne truck is a sports car.

did just watch it again, looks to me as if linfox truck has hazards on maybe? not sure stopped a long way back from the line if he is wanting to turn.

either way doesnt change my opinion of truck drivers i could drive around with a camera mounted in my car and edit all the bits to show the awesome tailgating, intimidation, dangerous lane changes, rolling halfway through an intersection cos the light *will* change *eventually* or the not even bothering to stop when they most likely could have and yes sometimes they cant but really i dont think the road laws allow for "oh that light changed you were probably going to fast anyway to stop by the time its RED so thats ok just steam roll through" well after its red

haha so whats the answer to the question in the vid? How close was it really to the towtruck :P

Honestly didn't notice the tow truck till after i was across.

To me it wasn't close i even missed the gear and slowed down a little bit before booting it if you notice.

In the vid made it look a lot closer.

Funny thing was as soon as i saw this thread it made me thing of that exact thing making me go don't be on it. My luck >_<

Alex: The Linfox driver starts moving after Patrick has turned the corner.

My guess, allowing him enough room for the cut-in of the B trailer.

If you believe that you can do a better job driving trucks, then please, be my guest!

Patrick: What prime mover are you driving?

I have no interest in a driving a truck what so ever, but dont try and tell me how bad all the other drivers are i watched a truck today on teh ring road push everyone out of its way as it was doing well over the speed limit and if someone didnt move he rode there bumper on those air brakes making a heap of noise until they moved not to mention the dodgy lane changing..

truck drivers calling other people bad drivers is an absolute joke!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
