Horrid Mondays

End of a Monday  
No better feeling id say its been said so many times its lost all meaning but there is such a stigma attached to the day is question seems to drag everyone down.

Something I do want to rant about is trucks on our roads now I know we need them and of course it would be unreasonable and stupid to say 
"lets just get rid of them" Impossible!!  like their slogan says                   >>>>>

The constant and  recurring issue is the speed and manner on which they use our roads here in Brisbane like most city's we have highways everywhere and on them the far right hand lane is considered the fast lane ... by law you still have to do the speed limit which I do but that doesn't seem enough especially for the big rig driving population. more often than not I would be doing the set 100kmh and will still have a truck 20-30 meters in length weighing anywhere between 10 and 25 tonne tailgating me so close I reckon his antenna is whipping my roof so then I either go another 5 k's an hour or switch over to the lane beside me or just stay there to prove a point and half the time they will over take me at least clocking 120kmh and stick the finger or beep their horn.

The fact that they are there doesn't annoy me its how dangerous it is to drive a machine that size and weight in that manner. It doesn't take a genius to know what they would do the the standard family car if they lost control of their truck !! and how hard it is to stop one of those things going at that speed!!

In saying that they arnt all bad there are some smarter ones out there but they seem to be getting over thrown with the dickheads.
I pesonally dont know how to fix the problem in a practical way. but I almost want all laws lifted from truck drivers let them go the speed they want and break any road rules they desire natural selection would soon kick in and them driving how they want the idiots and main offenders among them would soon become extinct by their own hands only problem with that would be the innocent bystanders that would also get taken out with them.


Thank you for reading
Be Well
