You and the majority of drivers need to realise that when you increase speed you also need to increase the size of the gap. You had 5 metres between the stopped car in front which is fine when stopped but not when doing 90-100 km/h. At 100 km/h you are travelling 27.7 metres per second so that 5m gap is less than 0.2 of a second to react although in saying that I drive trucks as well and the higher driving position will alow me to respond before the 4-5 cars directly in front of me but I need that earlier reaction time due to my vehicle taking longer to stop.
Two of my pets hates....slow morons who suddenly decide to do the speed limit when you attempt to overtake them, and control freak dickheads who get their kicks from slowing everybody down when there's no way to overtake them. It's bad enough when you're driving a car, but I honestly don't know how you truckies don't lose your minds. Keep up the great work Shane, and stay safe.
It's kinda therapeutic seeing someone getting pissed off at the same things that annoy me on the road, and who expresses it in the same way. The big difference is- I only drive a car, not some great big rig that will cause a lot of damage if it hits someone, and can't slow down quickly or swerve easily, so is reliant on other people doing the right thing. Which of course, they fucking don't. Full respect to you, sir.

Everyone who goes for a licence should be made to ride in a semi to see how small the road looks and understand a bit about the dangers caused by cars cutting in etc. Some that think they can drive should be made to as well.
Don't feel singled out because you drive a truck - the idiots that slow down at the end of a passing lane get in the way of cars too. You can do 130kph and not make up any ground in the passing lane then it's back to 80kph once all the passing lane fun is over!! Keep up the good work.

you need a bigger bull bar man, truly you have a lot of patience. don't worry about the swearing it wouldn't upset my mum she'd probably go further and use the bull bar
Sounds almost like me in my truck 😝 I don’t get it ether why the kents always slow down when it goes from two to one lane- kents doing it on purpose or I don’t know frogging kents
Plenty of times it's not the angle. On high speed roads it's recommended to stay three seconds behind the car in front. Didn't happen many times on previous videos.
Hey Shane I drive coaches and with guests on board you express what I can't lol! I reckon people should be required as part of their driver training to be made to drive and LR or MR to appreciate the stopping distances involved and drive a lot better. Nah perhaps I'm just effing dreaming....enjoy watching your posts.
Great content and should beshown to every city numnut on how you drive on country roads. I have only driven a heavy vehicle once but I have driven a lot of ks on country roads in cars. Those roads look familiar where are the vids taken?
Regards to the first tip, as long as you can see the rear tires of the car in front, you have enough space when stopped Those idiots that slowed at the police car, impeding the flow of traffic IS A TRAFFIC LAW
Is that waht they teach people these days? What's the logic? We were taught stop so you have enough room to manouevre if you need to pull out past the car in front, or make a sharp turn to the left if it looks like you're about to be rear ended.
As a heavy vehicle driver I quite often wonder if today is the day I kill someone with my truck because of their stupidity. I should give this game away because it is becoming more and more likely that it will happen. And the Truckie is always to blame.

I drove a taxi years ago so if they decide to drive on my side of the road @ me I would make sure they didn't get away with it . @ that time the driver was charged $2.40 / day for full insurance , so in theory you could write the vehicle off & then you would get another taxi to drive [ there is always another car sitting around not being used ] cheers mate.
