Well this post is more for anyone that drives. Not just MSE Ops, so everyone input is welcomed. I was aiming this post to be where anyone with a 404's can vent, talk about driving behaviour, problems on the road, safety issues, whatever floats your boat.
So my first point is convoy driving in Canada. Maximum speed for us SMP drivers is 80km. What I find if your the last vehicle you'll have some guy on your tail trying to get around you. And all you can do going up hill is put your 4 ways on, due to the MLVW is front of you. Then when buddy in the car is all pissed at you he"ll make illegal pass on you and then find out he has another truck to pass. So now he is sandwich between the convoy. I just find that the highways along these trailers can be tricky. What I saw in a military book before, I believe it was British Quad truck. But on the back of the truck, had something painted like "Veh Max Speed 80km". I think this is a great idea. But what I would like to see is a sign on the last veh that states "Veh Max Speed 80km Convoy Ahead" Something that would catch the driver's eye. Nothing flashy of course, but to get the point across. Like the sign may be magnetic or a wooden sign hung in the back. It is *do-able because we use wooden "Stunt Driver" oops meant "Student Driver" signs.
Anywho Rambled on enough for this lovely paid day of our.
I am off with the wife to blow it downtown.
Cheers Folks,

PS.. is do-able a word?
