    Also were you driving in his blind spot? I drive trucks a lot and it 'grinds my gears' when cars cruise along in my blind spot

    That is not a good excuse and that is way we have three mirrors on the passenger side,

    just stay in your own lane.

    Hope u can get it fixed

    I've always had diesel 4WDs & utes for over 20yrs, & still do. Your first sentence astounds me in that its not something you've considered or probably given a rats a$$ about until umm, you've become a light diesel owner yourself......... ;):) but yes, its not a totally fair system, but its the system we've got........

    All light vehicles now pay the same rate for RUC's, something else that changed around 18 months ago, regardless of whether its a 3 series BMW, or a Landcruiser or whatever. Somewhat unfairly IMO, I'm lead to believe trucks are now further penalised by having to buy their RUC's at whatever the vehicle's GVM rating is, irrespective of their maybe running at a consistently lighter weight.........

    Dutchy would have better info, but theres some units out there paying more than $1 per km on RUC's.........

    Yep I am paying for 55 ton but I am only aloud 45.5 ton inc tolerance,

    I am a nominated 9 axel unit and I can not pull a 5 axel b train I pay less

    than a 8 axel unit.

    Plus in the last 20 months I have paid 7000.00 on add bleu for the environment.

    I went from 1.65 km/ltr in the old truck to 2.00 km/ltr in new truck but the saving

    is taken away by the add blue

    The current system of Road Users is based on farm vehicles using diesel and not the road and

    that's why there is Road Users for all diesel on road vehicles. So before we start picking on trucks doing

    damage to the roads, just some facts :

    I own a 44 tonne 9 axle B Train

    For the first six months of this financial year, I have already paid $39,000 on Road Users.

    In my 18 years driving trucks, I have spent in excess of $1.3 million of Road Users. My

    new truck is 20 months old and Ive already done 170,000kms. Just the fuel bill for the

    first six months was $61,000. My trailers have done in excess of 1,000,000kms and I

    still have the same brakes. And this is only one truck, multiply that by however many there

    are and we MORE than pay for fixing the roads. Not picking on anyone, but just some

    facts. We also own a diesel 4WD.

    Its not the trucks causing the damage, but the Contractors using substandard materials,

    they chip seal it one day and the next day the chips are already coming off. In the early

    days when Ministry of Works were doing the roads, they chip sealed it, rolled it with big,

    heavy rollers, swept it, painted it and it was useable by that night. Now they use the trucks

    as rollers and all the chips stay in the tread of the tyres.

    People that don't know bmws or e30s in particular really grind my gears. Those m badges are so gay I see so many non m models with them on and people saying theyre m spec lol irritating

    Lucky I dont drive my car in Russia, I would be arrested, abused, charged and fined for being gay, and probably

    deported because Ive got an M badge on my car and no it is not my car on Trade Me :-).
