Be patient around heavy vehicles: We are all aware of extra heavy vehicle traffic. With the excess weight these transporters carry, it can only be expected that they travel further before reaching the speed limit. Overtaking a heavy vehicle requires greater distance and higher speeds, all with decreased visibility. Is it really worth risking an accident and endangering lives just to arrive at your destination one minute earlier? When following heavy vehicles, keep your distance, be patient and get there safely.
