On country roads it is a lot less stressful for you and the trucker if you have a cb radio. You don't need a massive areal and all wired in, just a little handheld for to communicate to a truck in front or behind.
Say you're towing a caravan at 90kmh. You can just say to the truck behind "white land cruiser and van to linfox truck, I'm slow, in 3km there's a overtaking area I'll let you go around."
Every car in every country should come with a handheld CB radio.
I don't say this because I want it to help, I say this because I want it to sound like a modern warfare 2 (original) lobby.
Get on uhf40 at the top of the gateway bridge in Brisbane, you can hear every whinging/gossiping truckie in the city all at once haha.
Calling other people's mothers whores might lead to road rage though.
Eh. They were gonna get road rage anyway. Just make cars built like giant bumper cars.
