I think you’re confusing B triples with triple road trains, a whole different kettle of fish.
A B triple doesn’t track any differently from a B double.
While I’m against B triples on anything other than existing road train routes, they certainly sit on the road and behave well.
I am against B triples on the Hume purely for economic reasons. Look at what B doubles have done to rates? B triples will further erode the small profit margin and it’s only parasites like Fox and Toll who will be using them anyway.

Who says that it’s dangerous? The Hume would be one of the safest highways in the country when you take into account the traffic volumes and kilometres travelled. The sky will not fall in just because there’s a B triple trial.
In fact, I’d say that 99.999999% of people wouldn’t even notice the difference if there wasn’t a bloody sign on the back of the thing telling people how long they are.
Ask how many people notice the CEVA B triples that travel between the Ford plants, Geelong and Broadmeadows? Most wouldn’t even notice them and I’d say that the traffic volumes on the Geelong freeway and the Ring road are far greater than the Hume.
