S'pose they think damage limitation with an HGV over here. Those road trains are summat else though, amazing bits of kit. Saw a 5 tanker version pulling up in Dampier a few years back. It would've taken you 5 minutes to walk round it!

NZ, OZ, Canada etc have a hight standard driving test. Some of the less democratic commonwealth countries certainly do not.

Does it also mean you could go on holiday to say Zimbabwe, collect a licence to drive a motocycle and then come back and exchange it for a full UK version
