Worked wonders. Not recommended on short straights. Hope there are no unlit oncomers in a dip between him and you. Can't have been any any time I tried this :-). I've almost met a few of those but in another story. Russell

Yes! I use the weave technique to change lanes while driving the RV and changing lanes. You can safely wander around staying in your lane for about 30 seconds and the there will plenty of room for you to change lanes! My farming neighbors report the technique is also effective when pulling large farm wagons behind tractors...

Oz road trains = LARGE truck with two LARGE trailers in tow travelling at whatever the available HP will allow on Outback roads use the weave technique coz that's just how it happens. When you and they meet the road is ***THEIRS***, you take whatever action is required for survival. Russell

Moral of the story is don't be driving a tin box in the other direction at speed. oh yeah and hold your breath. (generally they are full of stuff that smells good on a plate but not so good in person)

They sure do! http://www.mrupp.info/Photos/2005-Australia/katherine_roadtrain.jpg You'd want to make darn sure there is nothing coming the other way for some distance before committing to an overtake!
