I would like to know what people think of the government making it law that all trucks must keep left on all major highways. I am sick to death of truckies sitting in the right lane trying to pass when they know all they are doing is clogging up traffic because it takes them so long to get around another vehicle. What is even worse is they try passing going up a hill when they are loosing speed.

I have to admit I HATE the truckies who come into the right hand lane to pass another truck but then slow right down to about 90 km/hr. The right lane is usually full of traffic and it makes it so hard for everyone else.
I agree the trucks need to do their job but I feel the speed limiters need to be enforced as so many trucks are out there and travelling at 120km/hr or faster and that leads to the next question - where are all the cops when the trucks are doing the wrong thing - they are never around when they are needed.
The recent tragedy in Sydney where a truck had soooo many problems that it caused a crash with fatalities and stopped traffic for hours on end. Get the inspection stations actually stopping the trucks and actually checking the trucks - not just their log books. Used to be that all trucks stopped - now only a very few get done. Not good enough!!!!!!!
