Default Slow vehicles on freeways

Gee that's good news lets hope he makes a full recovery.

I think these type of accidents involving historic military vehicles on freeways have occured in Europe a few times . I try to avoid main roads as much as possible even when driving a modern car. . Driving my 1950 Land Rover into Warragul, I use the quiet back roads . Huge logging trucks are a constant hazard around here plus massive tippers from a local quarry and milk tankers visiting farms. A tipper rolled over in the Neerim South main street recently, I heard the crash , the truck narrowly missed a car backing out of a driveway , a large pile of dirt blocked the main street for hours.

Night driving , maybe reflective tape temporarily fitted to the rear is a good idea. A chap in the UK fitted a rotating flashing light on his CDSW Morris but not sure about the legalitites of doing that .
