Aug 6, 2009: Road Train Vs Grandma
Quote:
You might think the idea of a 72-year-old woman riding a bicycle 3,700 kilometres from Darwin to Melbourne might be newsworthy by itself. But what if the woman cheated death after her bike was sucked underneath a road train as the truck sped past her on the highway?
That's just what happened last month to Tasmanian grandmother Margret Mosmann.

ETA: By my count, that thing is a 74-wheeler. 74!!!
ETAA: Yes, we do *normally* drive on the left down here. I don't know why that thing is on the right. I guess, in a truck like that, you drive wherever you damn well feel like.
