LEARNER TANKS GOING FOR A SUNDAY DRIVE PUCKAPUNYAL
LEARNER TANK DRIVER'S ON A PUBLIC ROAD
Puckapunyal
Driving in the general area I was very surprised to come across a group of three tanks driving headlong down the public road heading in my direction. All displayed Learner driving plates. Due to their apparent width I thought it wise to stop off of the side of the road to let them pass by. Their speed was on par with the posted limit. Much roadside dust was kicked up as they drove past. An unusual sight I haven't seen before. The tank's tracks must have been approved prior to driving on roads or otherwise roads would be damaged from regular use.
