Yes but would you be in the left lane when you throw them out?

We are talking about Australian roads here not Germany where the drivers ARE actually taught to drive properly on high speed roads.

After doing more than 200,000kms a year for over the past 25 years I think that I may just have some idea what is going on on the roads.

And for all the other keyboard warriors on here anytime you are feel like it you can come for a trip in the truck with me and see what it is like travelling at 100kph speed limited and still having to put up with this same problem.
Well this problem is easily fixed.

Ban all 100 speed limited trucks from roads that have a limit greater than 100.

Better still, just ban all trucks.

Should only take about three days to completely stop the country, then the knuckleheads who write the rules might be forced to actually consider trucks in the overall plan of things instead of just using the road transport industry and a never ending source of income.

Of course, the left lane is the new fast lane.

Gee your a kinder man than me as there would be no way I would slow down to throw them out.

Or better still lets disconnect the speed limiters and just go for it.

Then we wouldn't have to worry about slow cars as we would be in front of them
