Sometimes if they are going fast enough there is no way they can stop in time due to they weight and speed thing so they only thing they can do is go faster and hope they make it instead of trying to stop and ending up in the middle of the lights. But i agree sometimes truck drivers suck i have usually get problems with them changing into my lane when im right next to them and ive been run off the road a few times and ended up driving in the emergency lane!

yer ive had a few close calls with trucks and buses. i always try at anticipate the stupiest thing every other road user could ever make.

thus, i always try to keep a large distance between other vehicles. when it comes to trucks and buses i never sit besides one.

talking of truck stories my gf was going around a round about and one nearly swipped her off the road. it went right into her lane so she pulled the finger or something(cant remember exactly what happened). then the truck driver stopped his truck in the middle of the round about so she couldnt move, got out of the truck and came up to the window shouting "wind down your window," while waving his finger at her. she reversed as fast as she could and got outta there.

oh yer... and i remember a few years ago there were heaps of accidents caused by massive trucks smashing into cars on leach hwy or something killing a few and putting many others in wheelchairs for the remainder of their life... or causing some to suffer from permanent brain damage. i think i might recall the cause of the accident was that the truck driver (as im sure is common among many) hadn;t slept for days and was full of drugs.

I've been in a truck before (passenger) in Sydney and you should see some of the dumb arrogant pricks in cars, In most two laned roundabouts you cant go wide enough out and the trailer will pull in (speed is not a factor). Just because when your pulling a trailer in your car and you can go round a roundabout with no hassels doesn't mean a truck can.

I don't have a problem with trucks, but I think that when approaching lights they should go a speed in which they can stop. If that means slowing down as they approach green lights then so be it, they should be in the left lane anyway.

speaking of craziness... i was going along the causeway bridge at about 9.30 last night (it was pretty busy, lots of cars everywhere) and this major retard with the one of those crappy old boxy fords and the 5HITEST caravan ive ever seen decided to stop in the middle of two lanes suddenly (nearly causing a pileup) then just did a U-turn onto the other side of the road nearly hitting more cars????

some people are seriously retarded.

yep thats the way lots off smaller vehicles will push the prices of everything higher and we will all be better off. Especailly all those extra drivers needing to be employed. Pity even with a job the costs will be too musch for anyone to buy food etc Maybe its the road designers that are of more concern

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
