Coming soon to a road near you... B Triples

[mick_dundee]

Article in the news today, in an attempt to reduce the trucks on the road they are talking about introducing B Triples... Woot! They say it wil only be on highways etc but reality would suggest they have to load/unload somewhere.

Dnno about anyone else but be fucked if I wanna see these on the road, need a square kilomtere to run around, take a week to overtake etc...

Not to mention the sleepy truck driver... how much damage will that do

[Blurr]

if you have ever seen these in the outback QLD or NT you'll know that these trucks stop for no one so how the hell are they going to negotiate traffic

[robracer]

One better ...Near Finke NT came across a triple that had jack knifed & it was carrying cattle, there were cattle parts allover the place, cause the limbs stuck out as the trailers rolled & slid down the road....local cop was dispatching the remaining wounded with his glock what a sight

[Possum]

so how the hell are they going to negotiate traffic

they dont negotiate traffic now ! and with the increase in smaller cagers & bikes not to mention road rage its just just a recipe for b-trouble

...........and they are already on the road between melb & geelong? !

...........and they are already on the road between melb & geelong? !

Not quite.
Ford has a permit for their B Triple, but the A section is a little smaller than a true B Triple.
Shame the true 'professional' truck drivers are few & far between these days...
Sooooo many knuckle draggers on our roads down here...

There's actually a second company running a B-tripple on the Princes Hwy Geelong-Melbounre. Went past it yesterday morning. Unless Ford have decided to subcontract, which I doubt.

Mick, the throttle's the one on the right. If you twist it when in gear, the bike moves a little bit quicker.

Not a big fan of road trains.
