@@MaNNeRz91 Still too close

@spanners94 Yeah I know. We've had 3 of them rattle apart in different ways on corrugations. Exploding shock absorbers is a favourite.

@user-xq7zi9jv8y I failed. 1x 600mm strong iced coffee was purchased.

Poor form ​@@jasedrivessa

@@benjamingore9627 travelling that far should definitely charge my car battery

@user-ky7se8ck9q Yeah, not entirely sure where we got our two sets from, but we haven't had them more than a couple of years.

@@benjamingore9627 Close...

I was very nervous the first time wondering how I was supposed to cross the river. Even more nervous when I first saw the crossing, but it held very well. I'm still not sure why a temporary crossing was the only access for a truck.

Hmm. Close. Strathalbyn is only 2750km from Perth 😊

It is a beautiful little town. Strathalbyn in South Australia. About an hour southeast of Adelaide

Hope heaven looks like that 😀

I don't know. They always hide under plants and logs from the main light, but when the light is off, the party starts with any light that shines through them.

@@jasedrivessa i asked around. Apparently when light is shining from the sides of them through them, it heppens. Cool

I don't own the Scanias I drive so I can't

Not sure, I was just a visitor in Melbourne. Never got to know all the talent on channel 40

Reported? The driver of that magna is an idiot and should be reported. The video itself should be shared over and over as a warning to everybody that idiots like this exist. Thanks for your pointless input.

I would love the opportunity to try the big Volvos.

I really don't know

This video was taken a few years back when they were working on the wind farm at Pt Augusta. Totally forgot I had the footage.

I do not disagree. Pushing the boundaries and taking risks are usually the cause. You'd have to be extremely unlucky to need a safety ramp based on mechanical failure alone.

Thank you for the feedback. Appreciated.

Yeah, 25km/h sounds more reasonable. This video was taken in a Scania at 56.5 Tonnes. Scanias have unbelievable hill holding. With all the penalties that apply here, you are much better off being 1 gear too slow than 1 gear too high. The hill itself isn't that scary. The fines and consequences for getting it wrong are the scary bit.

@drivingsouthernaustralia perfect thank you for the advice. I always worried if I went too slow I'd force all the other trucks to overtake me and they can't use their brakes, but that's probably overthinking it.

@ESPSJ all good. Hope it helps. The no braking rule is a bit dumb because it makes people overthink.... Don't overthink the fines for things like braking. If you have a truck like mine doing 40km approaching your truck doing 25km and I can't safely change lanes to go around you. I'm braking. I do it often and it's completely safe because my brakes are cold and my braking is not excessive. The no braking rule is there to penalise those who want to run down the hill in the wrong gear to make up time, riding their brakes along the way only to realise that they can no longer stop in time for the red light at the bottom of the hill. It happens too often, so that's why these sometimes questionable laws apply. A bit of common sense and you'll get to the bottom of the hill wondering what all the fuss was about.

@@jasedrivessa That makes a lot of sense, thanks for clearing it up for me. It's funny that the authorities make pretty much zero attempts at educating people what the right thing to do is, most of their info about this hill and others just makes people overthink it, which usually leads to mistakes. When I did my MC license, it was so easy. In fact it was way too easy, which is concerning. No mention about downhill descents, among many other important things they don't teach.

Thank you very much for reminding me. 😁
