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!

    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
