Have a look at my video of a road train leaving the Erldunda Roadhouse. Plenty of turning.

I've just posted a video of me passing a Toll road train, first time I've ever passed a road train. He gave me the one right indicator flick and as I was driving a 3.5 litre Magna....it took a long time to wind up but when it got going I wasn't about to stop.It was bloody frightening, I kept think his rear trailer was going to swat me off the road, it was moving around so much.

The Tanamai Rd one was awesome. I'd reckon there'd be some people out there who would keep on driving, despite the dust storm of the road train approaching them.

because your basing whats usually counted as common sense/ logic. that the person directly behind the truck "legally" has the right to go first as a law. its not a law.thats just the way things usually happen. he passed safely. there wasnt a car in site after he got ahead of the truck. since you seem to base your laws on what people would consider to be a common practise. i guess legally your a wanker. since thats a common belief that you are one.

Probably because you pretend to know road law and you don't. Maybe because your making comments on stuff that you were not there to see and therefore don't know what took place. Perhaps because you're a kid telling an old fart that's driven all over Australia for over 40 years how to drive. I know when I can pass two or three at a time. When I started driving there were no multi lane highways anywhere, that's right, anywhere. Melbourne -Sydney was one lane each way. You had to know how to pass.

yea i kno abd it those people who put other drivers at risk they should avoid driving on the highway if they cant deal with the traffic....at the end of the day the law is the law and is put there for a reason.And not all truck drivers do the indicator....

Some people don't have the confidence to pass a road-train.A guy passed me once in a 4WD, and said over the UHF radio that his wife, who was following, would not pass my road-train even if I indicated.In Australia, one blink on the right indicator means pass, and pass right now, not 5 mins later.

No, you said illegal. It's not illegal and you have no idea of how long I followed both vehicles before it became obvious that the car ahead of me had neither the capacity or intention of overtaking the truck. And being in front does not give you first option, There is a legal requirement to check your mirrors before pulling out. There is no "idea" there are simply the road rules and you clearly do not understand them.

rocket....because the car has the right of way to over take first. if the car in front (who has the right of way) could pull out with out checking mirrors or blind spots and will collect you and u have to travel more distance (pass 2 vehicles, instead of 1) which could leave less time for you with on coming traffic ...the idea is first in first served.
