Puddin posted:Rural AU? All the fucken time on any dual carriageway in Brisbane. The bulk of my experience is on the stretch between Perth and Manjimup in WA. Once you get past Mandurah and Bunbury the roads open up to 110 km/h single-lane with ~10km overtaking lanes every now and then which are usually on straights. Heaps of giant logging trucks go over these roads south of Bridgetown and they drive around 60-70km/h until an overtaking lane appears which is when they decide to floor it to 80-90km/h whilst staying in the left-hand lane. This makes passing them difficult and dangerous as you have to make it past 1-3 trucks with 2-3 trailers each in the right-hand lane of the overtaking section which only lasts for ~10kms. It's dumb as gently caress and entirely unnecessary if only those loving truckers would keep the same speed! I've got many a terrifying memory of when I was a kid and my dad was just going nuts and pushing our Toyota Tarago or Mazda 121 to stupid revs trying to get past dumb trucks (Ever seen a 121 do 60 in second lol it's bad). Edit: the route for those who're interested. Also on closer inspection I forgot that Greenbushes was north of Bridgetown so the logging trucks really start appearing south of Balingup. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Per...-34.2491597!3e0 Pile Of Garbage fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Nov 26, 2019 |

I only just got my truck license in the last 5 years but prior to that always gave trucks a wide bearth just because it's a gigantic ram rod that will gently caress up your day if you cut them off. After finally getting my license I am 100% sure that anyone that is going for any kind of road license should at least have a lesson or two in a MR truck. Purely for people to get an idea of what it actually takes to pull up a truck quickly when someone pulls in front of you without the required distance.

There are two reasons people speed up at passing lanes. Either because they are in fact fuckwits, or, because wide straight roads with more lanes psychologically induce a driver to speed up. https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/69757650/why-do-people-speed-up-in-passing-lanes

Round here at least, the sections of road that aren’t passing lanes are usually too winding for cruise control.

Yeah before you're allowed to drive around the open pits at my work in a landcruiser, you have to do two ridealong sessions in a haul truck going down to the pit floor and out to the ROM pad so you can get a feel for how they operate. You get up into the cabin and think to yourself "drat you really can't see poo poo up here".

How is glass cockpit still not a thing on those BUFFs? You can get 360 cameras in like 30k cars nowadays.Puddin posted:Rural AU? All the fucken time on any dual carriageway in Brisbane. I think that's just driving.txt, not specific to any place. But it makes sense, usually the places with a passing lanes are straight and clear so obviously everyone would naturally speed up without trying to be an rear end in a top hat. Still I end up having to go very illegal speeds to get past these guys that will inevitably slow down to a crawl at a sight of a curve.

Whichever traffic engineer in Victoria, Australia who decided that every highway that went up a hill should have an overtaking lane through that section has earned my eternal gratitude.

The E-3 is just going through this upgrade now (separate from the Block 40/45 upgrade). I'm surprised the B-52 didn't get it first, but not THAT surprised. They're not even RVSM compliant yet, and the E-3 went through that in the late 2000s. It's also a lot more complicated than upgrading a Citation's instruments.

I’ve seen that in other threads previously, but only just now realized it’s from LEGO themselves. Good on them for having a sense of humor.
