    We were mainly driving on sand on the airport, as they'd covered the whole man-made island with a few feet of it.

    Deep dry sand really does drag and slow you down though.

    The big trucks were used to carry huge chunks of granite (delivered by sea) across to the rock-crushing plant. They ran on their own exclusive roads so as to avoid squashing any of the piddling little 4x4 Nissan Patrols etc.
    So no problems driving an HGV then or a London bus......

    (I just added a video above).

    Nah...even the Volvo 6x6 in my first pic carries the weight of a fully laden British artic in its bucket...and then tips it over the edge of a mountain.

    Those Caterpillars above carry about 250 tons ...so about 425 tons or more all up .

    The reason I won't drive an HGV here is the OTHER buggers on the roads.
