In all our travels (since 1st m/h in 1998) we have had a CB aboard.
We cruise between 90~100km/h with 'Jim' the toad on his trailer; 100km/h (even in 110km/h zones) when travelling without Jim & trailer.
When a truck approaches from the rear, we usually acknowledge his presence, and tell him we'd like to help him pass. Does he know somewhere up ahead where we could pull aside to let him through, or even a rest area/truck parking bay where we could get right off the road for him?
Usual response is courteous & sans foul language. Some will warn us of an upcoming widening of the road, others just grab a chance to overtake. These latter blokes will at least tell us 'I'm coming through now.'
We usually tell the truckies that we'll hold our current speed, and when they're out & clear, we'll slow down to minimise their exposure on the wrong side of the road.
They usually say Thanks after passing, and wish us a good day's travel.
The only time the air in Girt turns blue is approaching major cities & towns - where there are more ****ing delivery drivers.
