Truck overtaking

Was talking to a WA driver, on holidays towing a van, some years back and what we call a quad in Qld, they call a 3 & half.
No doubt, a 4 & half would be these later quads at 64M long?

G'day Explorers

I can honestly say the Newman to Hedland highway heavy haulage traffic can be a tad more than challenging most times, I am a Pilbara local and over the past few decades the Iron Ore Road Train frequency has increased to a point where it has become down right frightening, more so after sun down.

I try very deliberately not to travel highway 95 North in anything but day light hours purely because it's a gamble at any other time, no matter how good your vehicle's forward facing lights are, you have very little opportunity to use high beam lights, but you actually run the gauntlet in the 'dark' or low beam stretches because there is a very real risk of animal strike as much of the highway/cattle station(s) is unfenced.

The most recent trips have had to be, home to Hedland then Hedland to home, all in one relatively quick journey and having to cover 1000 + Kilometres and mixing it with these Big Boys can leave me a little puffed out even on a good day.

Safe travels : JF
