Road train australia

Those massive trucks took us over in the Outback of Australia. They were doing over 120 km/h. We saved a lot of fuel becouse we drove not faster then 80 km/h

[Wiminaustralie]

For most of our trip throughout the outback we didn't , but when we got bored and sat naked in our van all of the sudden we did haha

You fucking wanker...he overtook because you were doing 80km an hour you fucking tool...I bet you sped up as well...getting all "oh fuck Im gonna get overtaken by a truck".....next time...pull over when he is a tiny dot in your mirror ...fucking idiot

@TheDarkangel025 yeah thats clever, and when the roadtrain hits a kangeroo or other wildlife and they get pulled underneath, then guess what comes flying out the back at your car at 120kph, and trust me you will shit your pants when it does.....

Limited to 100 ks? That's weird, coz I often have trucks fair up my clacker even when I'm going a bit over 100 ks. Unless companies remove the limiters or something...

@Truckaholic123 nah mate in the NT we are limited to 100kph in all heavy vehicles and this curleys truck was no way doing 120...

They say a good rule is to flash your headlights to tell the road train driver that he/or she can pull in after overtaking you.

@TheRooSkittler Because they've messed with the trucks. It's an Australian design rule; any new truck must be electronically limited to 100km/h. Anything that can go faster has had that limiter removed. If they're going downhill, it's possible, but not on a flat section of road

@Mechknight73 What have you been smoking only TNT i think puts limiters in their trucks. Every one i talk to sits on 105 going in and out of Perth.

The one thing that pisses me off is some cunt not doing the speed limit, makes me want to put my tipper truck right up there arse

@Mechknight73...Thank you for the insight :-)

[patto136]

curleys are limited to 90klm you fucking, drongo do the limit, or get out of there way you fucking tourist, you would have no idea about, these drivers conditions, or work load for the day, untill then respect and shut the fuck up.

@vanwahlgren Very few road train drivers bother with reversing trailers unless they absolutely have to. Most yards that use them tend to have enough room to turn around

[Mechknight73]

@Truckaholic123 Nope, that's the law in WA too
