Ive always gone by the idea that a vehicle turning across my path, at a point where I must stop, always has the right of way.

And if both are loaded, the truck heading into the bush, mine, whatever, yields to the truck coming out. If to vehicles meet where it is 1 lane wide, the smaller vehicle backs up, unless it is car meets motorbike, then the car backs up, because bikes are difficult to back up. May not be laws, but they are the common respected rules of the road. When I haul fuel, or machinery into the bush, or a mine, I am loaded, but yield to the loaded trucks coming out. Pickups clear everyone, no matter the direction of travel, because they are just a little pickup on a bush or mine road. If you are not running a radio with the roads channel loaded into it, and tuned in listening, stay off active haul roads. I despise pickups who don't monitor the road channel. If I'm doing 90 kms/hr and loaded, and meet you on a haul road in a pickup, you best hit the ditch, because the road is mine, and you shouldn't be on it if NORDO. If the equipment chained to my deck peels the side off your pickup, blame yourself, a radio is cheap, buy one, use it. All active haul roads in the entire province have a large yellow sign telling you what channel is required to run that road. Hunting season every year, I meet someone who has no radio, and I won't risk moving over for you.
If you must travel without a radio, follow a truck in, keep up, and when they stop in a pull out, you stop to. These trucks run fast, know the road, and won't hesitate to run you off the road. We run right down the middle of the road.D.Tibbitt and RockinChair Thank this.
