I filmed this on the 07012016 on my way to Wycheproof Victoria as this long BDouble truck firstly was tailgating us for miles even though I was easily going the 100km/hr speed limit with my cruise control on. Then he over took as many of them do by only going a couple of km faster then they try and force you off the road by cutting right in front of you as cars start coming up to them. Not that the drivers can see a thing with such a long truck next to you. These drivers should be charged with attempted murder for using their trucks as lethal weapons for driving in this way. The truck driver got no advantage by passing me at all except risked our lives in doing so. I hope the company finds this driver and gets rid of him for risking other peoples lives. There's no excuse at all for these rogue truck drivers on our roads. They shouldn't have a license. You can see by the tail end of the truck how he just swerved in front of us as I had to brake suddenly just to avoid getting hit. We slowed down as fast as we could to let him past. He only had to wait till it was safe to overtake. In the end he was stuck behind other drivers tailing them the same. And for what? He wouldn't have arrived any where quicker at all nearly killing us in the process. This logo:

Was on the side of the truck.
He nearly killed our whole family then moved up to another to do the same. If we didn't slam the brakes on when we did he would have had his way. He was tailgating us for klms even though we were going the full speed limit using our cruise control and then tried to over take us only going 1 or 2 km faster until vehicles approach him and then he just pulled straight in front of us from the right lane before even passing us. He was only about half way next us when he started pulling into us. Don't support these Dickheads on the road that shouldn't even have a licence. What advantage is there for truck drivers to go 1 or 2 klms over the speed limit just to be in front of someone else and risk lives like this? It was attempted murder. I don't bother reporting them to police anymore as there's so many drivers like this on the roads these days not just truck drivers. But I do place their videos up for good. I wrote to the company but never heard back which is typical. If we didn't slam the brakes on when we did he would have either killed us or slammed into all those oncoming cars. But this is how people get killed on our roads. If you look at the timer on the video you'll notice there was only a little over 12 seconds between the truck and oncoming cars. You can also see he was already closing right in on us with his indicator on as he was passing us straight away. If I didn't brake so hard when I did there's no way known he could have avoided hitting all those oncoming cars or kill us in that process. Shame these killer drivers off our roads for good. The next time it could be your family. Don't try and make excuses for them as there are none.
