Trucks!!!
Hi all
Is it just me or are you finding more and more trucks are speeding?
When I am in an 80km zone and following a truck, they are speeding off in front of me.
If a truck is behind me, again I'm doing 50kms, they are right behind me and if I had to slam on my brakes, well let's not go any further but to say I would be saying hello to my maker. And this happens when driving my school bus too!
They are hooning down our road and cannot be going the 50kms they are meant to be.
And then there's the amount of accidents with trucks involved... a little concerning.
