When trucks collide on the Monaro Highway

Drove past this this morning. One truck did not look like it was getting back on the road ever. Given the number of emergency vehicles there plod seemed a little slow blocking lanes and rerouting traffic

Yeah I was a little surprised by that… When I drove past it looked like they still had a south bound lane open…

It certainly made a mess of the truck at the back…

No idea obviously how this accident eventuated, but having traversed the Northbound lanes this morning myself I have to say I was appalled by what an alarming number of drivers think is acceptable practice.

I left a few minutes later this morning and noted that the traffic was quite heavy – and doing that strange slowing down, speeding up thing which seems to happen even though there is no actual physical hold-up. So why do people decide to tailgate almost and generally act stupidly?

And as always, everyone who sped past me with an annoyed look on their face, (giving them enough reason to hog the right lane obviously whatever the speed limit), is then my next door neighbour at the next set of traffic lights.
