Not sure about the Hume since I haven’t driven it in years, but I regularly do the Western Highway, and WOW the fully loaded B-doubles are aggressive af. You could be going 20kmh about the limit and they’re still riding your ass. The only time they slow down is in the towns. There are way too many deaths on that highway.
I have been pretty lucky with the roos not jumping out in front of me, but I’ve had birds and emus. They are not fun.
I just pull off and let them go, but here in the New England they seem to be speed limited and rarely get above 105 so generally it’s only speed limited roadwork zones that they get hyper.
I prefer to sit on about 85 as I’m a bit older, and it saves a fair bit on fuel, but will do 100 if someone comes up behind and I can’t duck off. Just have to be a little more alert at that speed, watching for potholes etc. Watched too many avch videos hehe.
