Add in the heavy fog atm on most days. (no excuse)
For instance, the Hume south of Gundagai has some big ups and downs and you will never know what lies just over the crests until you arrive there but then that's what I use a CB radio for in all the fleet.
Speaking from quite a few years experience as a Sydney courier driver I trained myself to look far into the distance so I can read a traffic situation unfolding even down to once having a police car run into the back of me at high speed, I knew it was going to happen but saving the life of a little girl was more important.
