It is important that you stay alert and follow their directions at all times. Heavy Vehicle Pilots and Traffic Escort Wardens are there for your safety! They have the same powers as WA Police to direct you around the oversize load. NEVER cut-off an oversize vehicle as they can't stop quickly.If you’re towing a caravan or trailer, you will need to give yourself extra room.After you’ve passed, wait until you can see the vehicle’s headlights in your rear-view mirror, and don’t forget to indicate when returning to the left lane.
NEVER overtake on a curve or hill where visibility is reduced.If you can’t see what’s ahead, do not overtake and wait for a safer opportunity Overtaking these trucks take a lot longer than a regular truck. Make sure you have a long, straight stretch of road ahead of you.If you can, wait for the next overtaking lane If you come across a road train on a single-lane road and need to overtake, please follow these simple steps: Road trains can be as long as 12 car lengths, measuring up to 53.5 metres long!

How to safely overtake a vehicle that's longer than you La storia di Nemetschek, di ALLPLANe del nostro software BIM. As the driver, you are still responsible for ensuring it is safe to cross the centreline and overtake. If the rear pilot waves you past or calls you over the UHF radio (using UHF Channel 40) and advises that it’s safe to overtake, proceed with extreme caution.
The driver will sometimes pull over and signal when it is safe for you to pass. When following behind an oversize or agricultural vehicle, be patient and keep a safe distance. Take care when re-entering the road – indicate and wait until the entire convoy has passed, including the last Pilot vehicle, where present. If the OSOM or agricultural vehicle is extra-wide, you may need to pull over completely for the vehicle to pass safely.
Move left - oversize loads and large agricultural vehicles can take up more than half the road or may need to travel in the middle of the road to avoid power lines or other roadside items.Slow down - seeing a Heavy Vehicle Pilot or Traffic Escort Warden vehicle is a warning that there’s something big up ahead.
