RV FEATURE
1. A driver must not unreasonably obstruct the path of another driver or a pedestrian.
2. For this rule, a driver does not unreasonably obstruct the path of another driver or a pedestrian only because –
a. The driver is stopped in traffic; or
b. The driver is driving more slowly than other vehicles( unless the driver is driving abnormally slow in the circumstances).
Example of a driver driving abnormally slow:
A driver driving at a speed of 20 kilometres per hour on a length of road to which a speed limit of 80 kilometres per hour applies when there is no reason for the driver to drive at that speed on the length of road.
You don’ t want a traffic infringement ruining your holiday.
Admittedly, you would have to be going pretty slow to be booked under this road rule but consider, in Queensland at least, if you are on a single-lane road and you’ re holding up a long line of traffic behind you, you are required to pull over and allow those vehicles to pass you, as long as it is safe to do so.
This diagram shows how a caravan impedes your vision to the rear of the tow vehicle.
