Pet Hates Whilst Travelling with your C/T

[Brett B]

My pet hate is people who merge onto the freeway at 80 ks and not 100
so every one has to stand on the brakes to let the morons in

When you go to a catch up & every body arrives , having driven past the " Take your rubbish home " sign . Then they have a wonderful fun time , then leave every empty can/bottle  in a pile for somebody else to clean up . TAKE  YOUR  RUBBISH  HOME  . dont leave it for the last to leave to do . ......................

Pet hate for me is those coppers logs or posts that stop vehicles / CT's from entering what would be prime camping areas........  just last night we went for a drive just south of Cairns to one of the creeks..... found a nice little spot, lovely gentle stony creek, sand beaches, crystal clear water, this spot is out of the way... i thought, i'll have to bring the CT back out here for a night or two..... closer inspection though, the "potential" camp area is surrounded by lovely trees, and where one would access the camp area, some f*ck Knuckle has decided it would be best to concrete in a few posts........... p*sses me off!!!

Merging traffic don't have right of way they must give way and merge safely.

My pet hate RAIN, just got back from the "sunshine" coast it started to rain an hour after set up and stopped a week later when we managed an hour to pack up.

Having right of way won't make it hurt any less when you run into them because they didn't pick a safe gap.

There is some old saying about Being right or being dead or to some such effect that I believe applies in this case.

Moorons that have 3ks to overtake on an overtaking lane, but choose to do so in the last 100m after tailgating you 2.9ks!!

But they do get Shitty when I merge as they do!!!

[baldheadedgit]

Right of way makes no difference, common sense does.........................

I hate it when theres an empty lane beside them yet they wont move into it to allow the other vehicle a safe merge.

That's where some steel spikes, 2ft of chain and your hi lift jack come in handy. Not many posts can put up that good of a fight.

Why not winch some gates out on closed tracks whilst you are at it

It doesent mater who's in the right its who left

[toeball]

People who can't maintain a constant speed, in a 100 zone they do anything from 80 to 110

x 2 - usually the 110 is on an overtaking lane

Why? Time it right so they have to give way to you as the dotted lines indicate

[fuji]

That must be why Police are so well liked amongst the trucking community!

They certainly do, especially the ones working the highways!

It's better to be in the "right" and alive, than to be in the "right" and dead

[Hairs]

There are thousands of these around the country, yet so many drivers ignore them.

I don't know why they both to erect them.

x 2 - usually the 140 is on an overtaking lane then back to 80 in 100 zone after you dont make it past them....

There was a big article recently stating the Gov Tax collectors were going to start cracking down hard on people doing this...
Yet to see ONE person nailed... They could start on Eastlink anytime from midnight to midnight 20days a week.

[LJs GU]

Folks who sit in the right hand lane and won't pull left annoy me, whether I'm towing a camper, a tractor or just solo.

If you do the right thing, you shouldn't have a problem with the Police, right

My pet hate are tailgaters, car or truck, although a lot more of a problem when it's a truck, at least the car has more of a chance to stop, if you need to stop suddenly.

[Hairs]

Just thought of another pet hate.
Anyone that travels the Pathetic H'Way, knows the speed camera at The old Tick Gates at New Italy.
Everybody is happily traveling at 100kph, as soon as the camera is in sight everyone drops to 80kph.
I have traveled that road for nearly 30 years, and have driven through that speed camera at 100kph(when ever I get the chance) and never been booked. Why do people slow down for it? Then at the first overtaking lane heading south, yep everyone speeds up to 110kph+.
I guess there would other places around the country the same.
