Overtaking a road train in rural Australia
In rural Australia you can see lots of “road trains”. They are very long articulated trucks upto 150m long. They are used to carry all manner of goods. Probably the most unusual (as shown in this video) is the double-decker cattle transporter.
Road trains can be quite fun to overtake on the open outback roads.
