OUTBACK Cautions and warnings..

[Brumbypt]

while the outback is huge, the bridges over lots of the creek crossings are still only single lane bridges..

so if you see a truck coming, then stop and let them go first..

The reason is fairly obvious isn't it??

[Brumbypt]

 i cant get it though to them, same problem this prado owner had, thought since he would get tot he bridge first then he had right of way.. BIG WRONG..


those ppl on the other forum would have the same accident..

i put the pic up to make light of the situation and teach ppl not to assume they have the right to cross if there is a truck coming.


Carry on...

Hmmmm. Risk vs reward....

Option 1 - I give way to the bigger vehicle just in case he doesn't give way to me.....possible outcomes - 1 minute of my 5,6,7,8 hour journey waiting if he doesn't give way to me or ......1 minute of my journey if he does give way then I have to take off again.

Option 2 - I don't give way ......possible outcomes - he gives way and I haven't wasted a minute of my life giving way to him......or he doesn't give way either and we see how wide the bridge really is.........


I think I know which one I would choose regardless of who had legal right of way.

What's the other forum?

I need a chuckle

[Brumbypt]

it looks more of a missunderstanding on my part..

4x4 earth

he meant that if the prado (for example) drove onto the bridge without seeing the truck and therefore couldnt giveway.

cos he didnt see any on coming traffic..


maybe they could get out of the 4wd, walk over the bridge, lodge the intention to cross the bridge paper work, send it off to the goverment and wait for the official approval before proceeding.

I just have add my 2 bobs worth

People who have never driven a rig like that simply do not , or cannot comprehend the forces involved. I would have to assume the truckie saw it coming and simply could not stop in time without causing an even bigger disaster.  I say that is one lucky pdoo.

Ofcourse I was not there so my comments should be viewed from a distance.  Just hope everyone is ok.  And I agree size does count.

Hi,
   F is for Kenworth.


Pronounced Furkenworth, i.e. your Prado won't be Furkenworth much if you argue with one.


cheers
