Car. I get stuck into the truckies that do it too. It's bloody scary looking in the rear vision mirror and seeing nothing but grill and bumper.

From the comments made, I'm guessing that the driver will not recognise the authority of the crown and therefore any imposed fine will just be ignored.

No no no, the offender clearly stated that the takeover would not happen for another two years.

usually if truckies are doing it, it's the people in front that need the talking too. There should almost never be anyone directly ahead of a truck especially not to a point where they can tailgate

Better start stocking up the 'Zombie Apocolypse' kit then, usual stuff i.e. tinned food, bottled water (beer) and ammo

No excuse for tailgating, if the brakes don't work then leave the vehicle at home. Otherwise chill out and back off. Truck or otherwise.

That is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen posted.

Why should there never be anyone in front of a truck......?

Didn't say it was, just the person upfront should be getting the talk, we'll I suppose both should really. But trucks don't really have the option of overtaking so I guess tailgating is the only response they have to try & get someone to speed up or move out the way & remembering truckies also run to time, slow people don't help this

I said directly infront, trucks are legally limited to 90 so if one is tailgating your going slower & impeding the flow of traffic, get out da way!

And if the other truck you are following (and cannot pass) is doing say, less than 90??

Just like we are legally limited to 100?

Gee, THAT sure works eh...

cant say I've ever seen a truck tailgate anytime other than when a cars slowing them below their legal speed. Oh and it would be better for all if trucks were 100 too
