Follow the Leader

I am posting a bit early today because I have a medical appointment this afternoon. We seem to both be having lots of medical appointments this week, I have another one tomorrow too. It seems to be that time of year where all our ongoing annual appointments are due.

Here is another photo from our trip to Newcastle on Monday.

We followed this oversize vehicle for about 40 or 50 km. Each time we got closer as we approached traffic lights or roundabouts we got sprayed with water. At least our car is now very clean.

I am glad I didn't have to drive this vehicle as the rain got pretty heavy on occasion.

it looks very dismal

Its not great to drive in those rain storms, but is provides some neat shots.

@annied It was. I am about to go out for a medical appointment today and it has just started thundering and bucketing down. Could be another soggy outing

[Annie D]

@onewing the rain has eased here today but looks like it may return - good luck staying dry

[KWind]

I hate being stuck behind big trucks like that!

[Kat]

Like the shot with the water drops on the wind screen.

[Diana]

Don't you just hate driving behind such trucks, especially on such a long stretch! I need to see what's happening on the road ahead of me.

[Ingrid]

Neat collage. I do not like driving behind those big trucks, but it gave you some great photos.

[Kathy A]

Great collage of our stinking weather

Looks dreary, but I wouldn't mind some rain right about now! How all goes well at the docs'.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, that weather does look nasty!

[Lynda McG]

We've all been there! Great collage of your soggy journey!

[Casablanca]

Substantial spray there! Excellent collage to express the day. Hope all went well at the medics.

[Yao RL]

May be safer behind it and less rain.

[Dione Giorgio]

Wrong choice of the day to travel. But I like your photos.

[Gosia]

Interesting collage

[Susan Wakely]

Horrible driving conditions but a great collage. Hope all is well.

[Peter]

Lovely collage tells the story well Babs, isn't it always the way in bad weather you meet an oversize load:)

[Wylie]

horrible trying to pass a big truck in the rain. glad you are safe

[Brennie B]

Horrid driving in this weather.

[Merrelyn]

[Mary Anne]

Interesting story

[Sue Cooper]

That’s a lot of rain 🌧

[carol white]

Great series of shots, very unpleasant trying to drive behind large vehicles in pouring rain 🌧️

[bkb in the city]

Great collage

[Pat Knowles]

I hate following large lorries when it’s raining...the spray is blinding sometimes! Hope all your tests are good!

[haskar]

Great collage

[Lois]

Wow! So much rain! Not my favorite to drive in that!

[Carole Sandford]

Great story telling collage! Not much fun driving in this!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's hard enough driving in heavy rain but it's even harder being stuck behind a truck in the heavy rain. Visibility is so limited! But I'm glad you made it to and fro without any problems and I hope all went well at the doctor's. good collage!

[Islandgirl]

Great collage of your rainy drive!

[Santina]

great collage, i hate trucks and I don't want them either in front or behind me...

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh! super rainy day shots make a great collage.

We were stuck behind this oversize vehicle for about 40 km but luckily the traffic was quite light and we could keep our distance, it was only as we approached either traffic lights or roundabouts that we got sprayed with water.

Neat collage!
