    haha; good thing they cant fine the trucks on slopes; man, with a full load, they can reach up to 160km/h, in Adelaide hills, the truckers have a laugh when cars over take them thinking they are too slow, but as soon as they get to the crest of the hill...
    VOOM.. BOOM... and a WOOSH; the b-doubles overtake them with ease.

    Oh, and australian (B-doubles) are americas (super B's)

    in the hearld sun a few years back, they had a two page spread of the common laws that cameras/tickets have to advise by (20m from speed signs) (on crest of hills).. etc; man, I wish I could find that paper again.. need to keep a copy by me..

    oh, earlier today, a cop pulled over a car at a driveway, and where a semi was reversing out of(as it was blocked as the other end), well need-less to say, just as the cop go to the other car, the truck reversed into the cop car...

    but, yer, I really gotta find that blasted paper (had rumors that the police comm didnt like this freedom of speech thing when the article came out).. but ill keep looking :p..

    One day, if I ever get over driving rigs.. ill speed down a slope(that has an uphill after), let the copper pull me over as im going up.. and just gently reverse over it.. bahhaha.
    Mind you I have had my fair share of trucks letting the clutch go and roll back 5-10metres (pain in the ### if the fight it, but funny when they find out you have it on tape)
