Yep totally right yr average truckie is an experienced professional driver who drives hundreds of thousands of kms a year without incident, , yr average idiot in a car is just that ... an idiot

[mizlopi]

@geoffmackley u cant say that wen u no absolutly nothing about this crash

[geoffmackley]

@mizlopi Oh no another You Tube armchair expert, were you there ? I was ..along with tens of thousands of others over 20yrs as a TV cameraman, so I do know a fair bit about the subject.. most of the carnage i see is caused by stupidity, morons in cars who think they can outrun a train, or that a large truck can stop like a car when they do something dumb..

they are indeed, they ride hard up your ass in some lame attempt at making you drive faster over 100, instead just go slower, only on the odd occasion i've pulled over to let a truck pass when theres no one else on the road, other than that they dickheads just like bikers.

"yr average idiot" probably can't spell...

Not sure about truck drivers being professional. I worked in the transport service industry for quite some years and could tell you some horror stories. We received many units for crash repairs not involving other vehicles and this included roll overs, running off the road and colliding with bridge approaches. Professional drivers??? I don't think so.

HI Geoff, can you give any details in terms of timeline of when this happened. I used to work right next to this site on Great South Rd running parallel to the Southern Motorway.

@vzclubbie U mad bro? tss

[vzclubbie]

@racygal427 True dat, they tailgate heaps but a lot of others do as well. But most truckies are alright sitting behind you cos most of them are milk tankers and are bound to turn off anyways.

@racygal427 "JUST GO SLOWER"?, WELL YOUR A BLOODY IDIOT ARE'NT YA. YOUR NAME SAYS ALOT TO

I wonder how Dave and Craig took that one. The way Craig fucking ripped through Linfox after they bought Provincial out and gave him a top managers position. He was firing drivers left, right and centre for as little as small paperwork oversights. I wonder if that driver kept his job...

@kiwiV8 You try Hauling 45 ton with your little mazda 323 & then u can say youre fair share. a truck isnt a easy to drive as cars & we do pull over where we can. truckies arnt out to piss people off, we just try to do our job & get to places on time.
