That92s a dirt road, ****wit. https://letgotravelaustralia.files.w...-paml-creek-cr ossing.jpg No, thats not a road at all and you wouldn't be getting any road vehicle along that without a tow especially not a loaded truck. In fact I doubt one would even fit back there. Got any sensible examples Skippy? |

[1]The angle the tractor unit can tilt and swing in respect to the trailer before it contacts said trailer. Huh? If the tractor has contacted the trailer other than through the 5th wheel then the whole rig has already jackknifed. If you're talking about manouvering in a tight yard then the shorter length of an EU tractor is a lot more useful than minor increase max angle which even for an EU unit is probably around 100-120 degrees at a guess. Would North American conditions sometimes require more tilt or in other words a greater degree of articulation the vertical plane for example in going over some their level/ grade crossings which in some places are far from level. I doubt they're any more severe than some of the humps and bumps of roads around the UK. Speed bumps in the UK are criminal. They destroy suspension, they **** up the wheel balancing and tracking, therefore costing motorists money and making the cars on the road unsafe. They also cause damage to the spines of the occupants of the car, especially if they're elderly or disabled. They also make it more dangerous to drive along the road, as the cars are bounced up in the air (even if you're not speeding), drastically reducing traction. And they often put bumps on corners! Not in my experience, this is because I slow down as sensible people do and I can afford a decent car. You, being on the dole can't afford a decent car and never will do. Carry on being the joke of usenet. Prick. My neighbour has a decent car, and he slows to about 5mph to go over them (which he shouldn't have to since it's a 20mph or 30mph speed limit). He still breaks his suspension. Stop being so ignorant and ask any mechanic if they got more business when speedbumps were installed. More lies from the dole claiming dirty little ******. I have not has a replacement suspension unit fitted in 20 years. So, You stop being so ignorant ya stupid pikey law breaking pillock and learn how to drive a car. This is one of those rare occasions when I agree with the dole claiming dirty little ******. -- Ian |
