MODERATORS
The majority of unsealed outback roads that a really long, 4-trailer, road-train would be used on, have slow sweeping turns and corners cut for T-junctions and 4-way intersections.
When back on the sealed(bitumen) roads, they are separated into doubles or triples.
Known turn around loops exist to reverse direction, without de-coupling.
Note: trying to overtake a 4-trailer road train on a dusty road is usually only possible on a very wide, straight section of road or by contacting them on UHF radio(CB).
I love that this is such a uniquely Australian machine that the records section includes an "outside of Australia" category.
Love the idea of Plugger and Buddo hearing of each others attempts and going "strewth mate, I'll have to stick ten more of the fuckers on"
