    Totally agree

    In 2000 I towed a 23ft van with an ex ambo ,351 auto around OZ safe overtaking speed 110 kph .
    Then you stumble across a convoy of grey nomads sometimes up to 6 underpowered cars towing big vans all bumper to bumper at 70-80 kph GRRRRR.

    So you check ahead in the shimmering heat nothing in sight ok out we go you build up speed get half way past the convoy and crap where did he come from in the distance a fast approaching vehicle will I make it better not chance so I backed off only to just make it back in time as some hoon doing estimated 200+ goes flashing past (not just once either)
    even though I had miles to pass safely under speed restricted conditions unlimited roads made it a game of russian roulette .

    thats my experience

    Gaz

    ps Ever been passed by a road train doin 120-130 k when your towing a van NOT FUN
