A year-long trial begins today.

  1. With regards to this new law that the rms have brought in , that trucks are no longer allowed to travel in the far right lane from Kariong to Wahroonga will only work, if cars are not allowed to travel in the far left lane? You see after driving heavy vehicles myself for over 25 years , the road is not not the problem nor are trucks, or cars? The facts are the drivers attitude toward their fellow driver being of a selfish nature, this is the problem!
    So having experience when driving a heavy vehicle on an incline takes a lot of skill to keep the vehicles momentum up, if trucks are to be penalised by not being allowed to travel in the far right lane? Then trucks should not have car drivers allowed to slot into the far left lane just because the other two are choked up, and disturb the rythym of the heavy vehicles? Unless you have driven a heavy vehicle, you are just not aware of this dilemma?
