She might just consider hitching a ride in one of the trucks, she would get there faster. And she could always strap her bike on the back of one to continue her trip later.

See how this story brought the Aussies out?
It's a nefarious plan, I tell you, a plan!

I can imagine!
I've driven a triple in the past and it was quite a challenge. I had sixteen axles rolling and I forever learned why we in the States call them "Wiggle Wagons"! It must have taken me a mile to get the feel for it, three miles to get to highway speed and another mile to get it down to a stop! Next time I'm down under, I wanna drive one of those! Bicycles not welcome. Brian

I've often wondered if it's possible (or ever even necessary) to back those things up. Would love to see it.

A few years back a story went around of a guy driving a B-triple who missed the turn off on a remote rural highway. No backing or U-turn possible ... had to drive about 150km before he could get to another road heading to where he was trying to go. I imagine he may have said a naughty word or two.

It is possible, but not recommended. I backed up a double once when it's driver made a wrong turn and couldn't back it out. It's a challenge, I say.

They changed that a couple of years ago, the speed limit is now 140kms per hour. They were going to bring it back to 110 like the rest of Australia, but didnt because it would mean that you were on the wrong side of the lane for too long when overtaking a roadtrain. |

Ahh...I stand corrected. Still, 140km/h is pretty quick.
