Or better still - you should be paying attention to your driving, and prepare to leave properly at your chosen exit!
@gjaeigjiajeg3 жыл бұрын
Exactly!!! Really sick of some drivers. I'm the type that even if I hadn't missed a turn but about to miss it or I missed a queue to a turnout, I'd carry on. No stopping in the middle of a major road trying to plead (or worse, force) my way into the shoulder, no dangerous manoeuvres!! My logic is, I'm a user of the road, not the owner. I fucked up, I rectify it in my own time, not at other people's expense by holding up traffic and/or creating a road hazard. Why can't everyone follow the same amount of courtesy and consideration?!

Some (not all) of the truck drivers in the first half of this video made questionable choices. Based entirely on the footage in this video, it appeared to me that some truckies were speeding and crashing into cars. What about the near miss at 9:10 at the intersection when the car pulled out from the right? In Victoria if you are at intersections without traffic lights or signs you must give way to any vehicle entering or approaching the intersection from your right. That truckie should have backed off and given way to the car entering from the right. Some truckies are downright intimidating.

The truck driver at 2:06 has made a number of mistakes here before the start of the accident: - He started overtaking another truck on the left (which in this case also boxed him in) - He allowed himself to get very close to the car in front of him - All this with poor visibility and a wet road surface I don't know exactly why the car in front slowed down but in a sense, it doesn't matter, he only slowed slightly. It might have been brake checking as some have suggested or it might have been that one of the common bits of advice for being tailgated is to gradually slow down to make the tailgater back off. The car might also have seen something ahead of concern. Overall, almost entirely the truck drivers fault.

But they remain humans, give them space, indicate, slow down, let them in. I've seen way too many deaths in a car v.s truck scenario. It's simply not worth the few seconds or minutes off your journey, if you're lucky.

Had an accident, somehow he managed to control his truck so it wasn't anything bad, but when police showed up they told him, if someone brakes in front of you, or cuts you off, you ram them, because you can only kill them may be yourself, unless it's another truck unlikely. If you swerve to dodge the car, break too hard, you will lose control, you will hit others, and you will hit or kill innocent people instead of an idiot who does something stupid to make you go off the road.

People generally don’t know how hard it is to be a truck driver. Especially if your a long haul and have to navigate the city to get to a wharf. The hardest would be with live loads cos it moves around. I used to do a lot of rural and interstate driving at all times of night. I was always glad to follow a truck cos they knew where the speed cameras were so we cruise along. Then when we passed a camera or/and safe to pass I could always rely on them to pop their right blinker on to let me know I’m good to go. I’ve had this experience heaps of times. I don’t know who any of those drivers are. But I thank them because they were keeping me and themselves safe. So now I live in city truck side I always let them in and flash my lights to let them know I’m giving way. I would rather some joker car driver lay on the horn or swear at me than see a trucker get into a pile up on the freeways. Thank you truckers!!!

In the name of myself and other truckers worldwide: thank you for being a driver with a functioning brain. Many car drivers treat us, well, like other cars. They presume we can always clearly see them, we can stop for them, etc. Many apparently think "oh wow this truck could stop fast, certainly that one can aswell" disregarding one very basic thing: you don't know our load. It could be 1.000 kg, it could be 30.000 kg. Thank you for wisely choosing to not endanger yourself and others. Oh and here's a tip for the jackasses: if you disregard the law and cause us to perform an emergency stop, then quickly run off because no collision happened, here's some news: if we get this on our handy little dashcams, you might very well end up paying for an entire damaged load anyway even though you think you "got away". I'll repeat: you don't know our loads. A colleague of mine transported a completely average looking container not so long ago, inside it was a highly sensitive, very specific scanner for pharmaceutical purposes. Pricetag (we know for it was in the load documents): 1.5 billion euro's (1.77 billion USD). So next time you cut off a truck to win a few seconds, be prepared for a lifetime of being enslaved by debt. Not to mentioon that in the current crisis: we might be transporting medical PPE, medication, ventilators, etc. You really want to mess that up right now?

A truck driver that knows what they are doing would edge across, while indicating, taking up both lanes, ensuring another car cannot come up the inside lane, taking the corner with caution.

I saw a couple caravan issues. For those who don't know what to do when your caravan (or any trailer for that matter) starts to fishtail like the few in the video. Don't try to correct it by counter-steering etc. Simply accelerate and try to keep the steering wheel as straight as you can. The trailer will follow you out and stop fishtailing, trying to correct it will only increase the chances you lose control and have an accident. (Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but having plenty of towing experience this is what Ive been taught and have found to work)

Truck driver at 4:23 was lucky he had a side road to divert too otherwise this may have ended badly. Also we either need to make smaller vehicles or wider country roads. Too many drivers trying to overtake bigger ones or just being plain stupid & impatient. Not worth it for the consequences that follow. If U r stuck behind a large vehicle & are able to, just pull over & wait 5 minutes then proceed. This is my answer. Watching some of these incidents between trucks & cars reminds me of the 1970 movie Duel starring Dennis Weaver. That was as scary as & often exists in real life.

That was a few different mistakes that didn't have anything to do with the trailer being loaded. Going way too fast for one, the draft off the rig is what got the trailer swaying then they over corrected once they got in front of him. I've seen lots of holiday weekends start with rolled over trucks and travel trailers, it's really fun when they flop opposite eachother and twist the hitch and safety chains all up with the trailer in a thousand pieces and end up blocking the entire freeway at 6PM on a Friday night.

It's because they are fucking stupid. They think "road is 60/70, must drive at or above that speed at all times" regardless of whether there is a bend in the road they might need to slow down for. So they get to the bend but they have no confidence or even concept of their vehicle's cornering capabilities, so they think if they take the corner properly they'll skid out and kill themselves, and they know they're too shit to control the car if it starts losing grip, so they just cut the corner.

There is no way that truck driver saw that car.
@eFeFeX7 жыл бұрын
Have you ever closely watched a long vehicle (especially those with a pivot point) turn? Even a small example like a bus? They take a different line around corners and also have a larger blind spot compared to a car (so they are unaware that you are trying to sneakily merge before them). They also don't grind to halt at the drop of a hat. The moral of the story is don't try to creep around or cut in front of trucks... I thought I had seen bad driving until I got into the passenger seat of an 18 wheeler. It was absolutely shocking to see how little people know about the capabilities and limitations of a truck, as well as the blatant inconsideration shown towards truckies. Truckies drive large, heavy and difficult to manoeuvre vehicles everyday for often very long hours, whereas most personal vehicle owners only have to drive to and from work and during leisure (which by the way truckies STILL have to do after they've knocked-off work). So who do you think has a better understanding of how to operate a vehicle and has a more intimate knowledge of the the roads: an experienced/veteran truckie, or a yuppie in a rush to get home from the office. It is much easier for a car to change it's position on the road and we should be accommodating for trucks, not the other way round.
