Do you know what to do when it’s bigger than you?
Whether you’re driving on metro or regional roads, you may come across vehicles carrying extra weight and width. Vehicles carrying oversize loads are typically much bigger, wider and slower than you. Oversize and over mass (OSOM) vehicles and road trains are built to transport very large loads on rural roads. It can be daunting sharing the road with them, but following the road rules will make your trip a safer one. For information on how to safely navigate a vehicle that’s bigger, slower, longer or wider than you, visit the Main Roads team
