The truckies probably do. If the police can estimate that the truckies have done no more than 80km an hour between towns, it should be reasonable that the truck drivers have taken breaks.

So this driving for 10 hours was crap. Truckies drive multi-day spells.

There was nothing in your original post about travelling 10 hours/day; merely 10 hours.

I think you could work out that I meant 10 hours a day. And even then, that seems a bit excessive. But for you to think that I meant truckers driving 10 hours straight with no breaks, you would be a bit of a moron.

The quote was:
Quote:

717 cars per 1000 people in Australia. 519 cars per 1000 people in the UK. The UK is quite an urban society. And whilst I agree that transport vehicles in Australia can drive 10 hours to get to their destination compared to 4 or 5 hours at most in the UK, most of the driving in Australia is confined to towns and cities.

I did not say that transport vehicles in Australia can drive *non-stop* to get to their destination. I was expressing that transport vehicles would drive a total of 10 hours in Australia to get to their destination. Maybe they drive further. Maybe they drive less. That depends on what they are carrying and where they are going for their company. But not for more than a few hours at a time without a break. Obviously, you are not going to see a transport driver drive 10 hours straight without a meal and toilet break every few hours. Oh, and to refuel, too.
