i think some truck drivers are careless on the roads, iv seen one on the way to woollongong flying past all these cars, changing lanes like no tommorow, driving recklessly in otherwords that could have cost his life and many more other if anything was to go wrong,they take too many drugs to stay awake and get to their destination to finish off work then too realise how valuable people s lives are. NO BRAINS...... NOT TOO MENTION HOW MANY TIMES IV SEEN THEM TAILGATING CARS. I RECKON THEY SHOULD JAIL THESE BASTARDS, COZ ITS CRIME!!!!
i'm not defending the truckies,, cos yes, a lot of them are dangerous (as much as there are crazy car drivers and motor cyclists) but,, with the tailgating thing,, there was a huge thing on today tonight or a current afair ages ago and the truckies said they're not tailgating you with the intent of scaring you, it's because they can see over you and see all the cars up ahead so they have more time to break if they can see up ahead that there is a hazard etc
but yes some truckies are crazy. i was in the passenger seat of my dads car a while back, overtaking a truck (we were doing 100km/h, the truck was doing 80km/h) and as we past it, one of the trucks tyres shredded and flew off at us, hit my side of the windscreen, wrapped around the windscreen frame, into the open window, made a huge cut on my thrat, and flew back out the window. we got the rego plate and name of the truck company,, went back and picked up the shredded tyre, called the company.. they denied ever having any of there trucs on the road... grr! now to this day i have an ugly scar on my neck
