Trucks have an unwritten imunity to being booked for trafic misdemeanors
that ordinary motorists lose their licenses to drive for.
This is a truck
, shooting a red light. Should you be brave enough to try to drive on Australian
Roads , beware the trucks, They stop for no-one , and nothing. ( Apart
from the odd very green cop who is silly enough to risk his/her life to
stop one )
The Australian Government has taken steps to adress this problem , and for the last ten or twenty years have been re-routeing the highways around the small towns instead of them running through the middle of town.
This cripples the town ecconomicaly , but it makes for faster transport
times, and less laws being 'broken' ( as if they are ever enforced ) by
transport drivers.
Dont think of forcing your right of way against these Jugernaughts.
They can and often do squash cars ( with their drivers ) because the motorist
was naieve enough to think rules aply to trucks as well as cars.
Compared to most average cars , including my seventies model Ford ,
Trucks are huge , they are to be treated with respect at all times.
