Just wondering what peoples thoughts were in relations to trucks etc. giving you the ok to pass when you otherwise couldn't see.
During my rescent trip to Wagga, i was given the ok to pass a road train/b-double just out of Mildura. Now i am never one to trust these helpful people as i like to take responsibility for my own driving, but the other night really confirmed my instincts. I followed this truck for about 10k's out on the road to Hay which for those who have never been through there is winding and has a 50k limit for much of it. When we came to a stretch of clear road of say 500m he signalled me to overtake. I moved over the line to get a good look and as i went to go a truck with only one headlight came around a blind bend leaving me 300-400 meters to make my passing manouver and merge before being hit head on by the other truck. Needless to say i quickly pulled back in and waited for a good place with visibility. It worries me that i could just as easily booted it on his advice and not be here now. |
