Sad this Gerry.there is a FB page i got bogged at Inskip Point. You want too see stupidity look on their. Then leave a comment about it the stupid things they do & the macho men shoot you down. Some people can't be told .
I was talking about the country, mousey. Guess you city slickers have your hands full of gear levers and indicators....not to mention hand on horn (Warning device ) to warn all the idiot drivers.
Your right brickus i dont have it on round town drive you crazy .
Okay straight from the horses mouth a good mate of mine is admin in lights on the hill up here . Owner driver Nth Qld runner. Definitely channel 40 . Hope this helps .
There are a few repeater channels up there Mick . Some people probably scan cant remember any . Been 3 years since i did a trip in a truck up that way .
I saw a prime example of this yesterday at the old Clipsal site railway crossing ... It looks as though a smartass slipped in to the gap between a car in front and a semi ... result the SUV now looks like a Smart car and is a total right off.
The poor bloody truckie locked up everything trying to stop and left approx 10 metres of chatter liquorice strips on the road, from all wheels, but to no avail ... Ploughed in to the errant car which in turn ploughed in to the car in front of him.
I really wonder where some of these people get their licenses from ... common sense tells you that something with 30 plus tonne on the back is not going to pull up in the same distance as something weighing maybe 1.5 tonne.
Stay safe all and watch out for the other bloody idiots they are dangerous.
Cheers
Allan
Trouble with that scenario is that the poor bloody truckie cops the blame and the penalty.
not all the time spook its now illegal to take the breaking distance off a semi up here in qld images (7)
