Australia allows what they call "road trains", as long as they're not on
the main highways. So when you get to the Outback, where the roads
are really lousy, these incredible monsters come along. They're
allowed to be 165' long, which is about what this one is. We got
behind a cattle road train, with three long trailers, on a really poor
road and the rear trailer would swerve back and forth wildly so that the
truck would have to almost stop. Unfortunately, we needed to pass
it and that meant being in the passing lane for a LONG time with that
trailer swerving and forcing us on to the shoulder. It was tense
and Patti was cursing me for passing. |
