hundreds of caravans and other RVs choking a Queensland highway!

Yes, agreed, whether driving my trucks or motorhome at the posted speed limit, I usually have some fool racing up and following too close to see around me to pass.
Only problem I have sometimes with caravans is a few not using wide enough towing mirrors.

remember.... If you can't see my mirrors, I can't see you.

Not sure about other states, but in NSW you must have mirrors that you are able to see down the sides of the van/trailer.

GasOlane, You know that and I know that but some caravanner's obviously don't think it applies to them. had a guy change lanes on me as I was alongside of his van going up Bethunga recently. Yep. standard car mirrors.

I would be pretty sure that is a national regulation,but some people just don,t seem to get it that you have to check them regularly and act if following traffic is being inconvenienced.Some mirrors are cheap and shake all over the place so badly all that the driver would see would be a blur.Camera is the go and really pretty cheap,just mount it up and leave it on full time,better than any mirror!
