What do they feed those trucks in Australia?
They must be built differently. In fact, I suspect that there are MANY differences between the US and Australia, in vehicle construction, road conditions, driver skills/attitudes, speeds, distances, and traffic.
Are you saying Australian drivers are more skilled? Have you direct experience with the Australian driver-education system?
I know it's a joke here in the states. The back woods town I grew up in taught me how to drive around on quiet backwoods roads with lazy speed limits - I was not very well prepared when I went away to college in Detroit, with huge expressways, hurried city driving and so much traffic.
First thing, Aussie trucks are built to haul loads, not ride like cars.
Maybe Australian drivers are more skilled? Maybe there's less traffic? Maybe people there are more patient on the roads and tolerant of someone who is driving slower than the normal flow of traffic because they're hauling a heavy load? Maybe people there aren't scared to death of being held liable to the point of financial ruin for every little cut, scrape, or bruise?
