i have driven the sturt hwy at night, just have a break 2 hrs either side of dawn and dusk, and you should be right, what usually annoys truckies along that route, is people failing to dip high beam, from behind you see the red tail lights, dip the high beam only to see the red lights are MILES ahead! leave them dipped! listening to them on the uhf you will realize how much this annoys them.
and if you do see an animal on the road, DONT swerve... in that part of the world at night im more worried about drunk locals on the road, not the professional drivers.
