18-Wheelers in the break down lane?

Question:
One thing I've noticed when in some serious traffic jams, is that 18-wheelers will move into the break down lane to stop cars from using that lane to cut ahead.

How often should you change your car tires? Is it after so many kms or does it depend on what they look like?

Question is, are they "supposed" to do that or are they just trying to keep others from cutting the line? Reason I ask is they seem to be the only ones who will do it and while they may be justified in doing so...I've seen some real close calls when the cars try to sneak through.

what would happen if you drive your car on somebodies lawn?

Just curious.

Answers:

Is it just me, or are there more vehicles driving around with plastic taped over one of their windows ?

it actually helps keep traffic going, since everyone is in a hurry when they try to get to the bottle neck using all the lanes it makes it worse, ive been known to do this in my jeep, it really does help

"further - why can't queensland people drive?"?

I personally like when they do this. Nothing pisses me off more then jerks trying to pass on the shoulder. Heck, I don't drive an 18 Wheeler & I will move over to block the idiots.

What happens when the speed camera on the opposite side flashes on you?

In general people shouldn't use the breakdown lanes or shoulders for driving. There's all kinds of debris over there which can damage the tires. Plus emergency vehicles need to use the lane to get to accidents. If someone ahead is injured, having to wait for the idiot to move over can shave precious seconds from the life saving arrival of the ambulance.

Why do so many people tailgate and generally risk their lives to get a whole car length in front of you?

You can't always see what's ahead so you don't know why there's a jam.

against the law to have no bumper?

I can see exceptions though. If you can see your exit up ahead, I don't have a problem with someone cutting over and getting off the freeway.

Am I right or Wrong?

It's a ticketable offense though.

Car inspectors: TRUE or FALSE?

I vote for the 18 wheelers.
There are usually signs 2 miles before a closed lane. instead of every one merging . they race to the closed lane and cause big traffic jam trying to get over.

Supertrucker, your shoulder IS the breakdown lane. Same thing, different name.

Should the driving age be raised?

Truck drivers are some of the most courteous people on the road. They have to be, it's thier living. The blocking the breakdown lane is just forcing other drivers to follow the rules. In most places, travel in the breakdown lane is prohibited by law. Many people want to just get where they're going and don't give a rat's tail about the law. Truck drivers need to get where they are going too, and will help to keep traffic moving so they can.
