Yep, some sensible words in there ... hopefully we all use the common sense as detailed in that clip.
Just one thing though. In the last part of the video it shows what I guess we are to believe is a caravan passing the road-train.
Given that long, straight stretch of road being shown, and assuming therefore the road-train is sitting on his 'governed' 100kph, surely that van (vehicle?) must have been doing 110Kph at least to overtake. Not very sensible, safe - or even necessary?

John,
If the speed limit is 110kph, then nothing wrong in MOST states! Also even if the road-train is doing 100kph, when it gets to a hill it slows down, and then you are stuck behind it. I guess you tow at a speed that suits you and your car. Given I have a very capable tow tug and a small van, I see nothing wrong with driving at the speed limits if I need to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. Not all GN's on the road are on limitless time frames!
