- Does age make you a better driver? Or worse?
Does getting older make you a better driver? Or worse? Driving in Sydney has always been a case of staying alert and driving defensively. But sometimes the other driver does something very unexpectedly. And often in a car that won't be able to cope with the damage from a high speed accident. My thought at the time was this man was probably on his way to collect his kids from school. Driving cars on the road is hazardous!
A comment made me think, are men or women worse at road rage? Please keep it polite!😁
I've been driving for 30 years in Sydney and I see this daily. Basically, he's a reckless/aggressive/asshole driver - a common sighting in NSW.
In my opinion, you also shouldn't have merged back to the left so soon without checking your rear view mirror first. If you checked your rear view mirror, you would see that he's accelerating to overtake. As your went back to the left lane he had to go to the shoulder to avoid a collision. He should have slowed down instead of accelerating.
The insurance company would probably have placed you at fault if there was an accident because your car was still between two lanes and his car was fully in the lane.
Hi! I see your point but.... I'll throw some extra info in and let me know if you think differently. I was doing the speed limit of 100 kph(62 mph for my American viewers). I reckon my indicator makes a noise at the same time he moves left and he is accelerating hard. I reckon I was in the right. His move was outrageous! Interested to hear from the TH-cam jury😁😁
I strongly disagree with you on insurance because Honda driver was driving reckless in that manners. Dash cam driver has proof for this action.
I agree with 00VII ... I think insurance would say other driver was driving dangerously. Don't forget the tailgating footage from just before. Plus his speeding. If there had been an accident I would have called the police. So what would the verdict of the police have been? That would most likely decide the insurance companies verdict I think. What do you think?
...from a locals perspective...as I'm local to this area.
Just a TYPICAL "left lane hogger" local, most likely driving to his fav fishing spot. He is so used to driving along that left lane, towards his. ramp off. He's just to lazy to get out and pass people in the right lane, he things the "left" lane of this Hwy is HIS road lane. As you were "in his way" to his fishing spot, he out of the blue tried to follow you, with your legal overtake, but as this was all happening to close to his bloody turn/ramp off, he immediately had to "hog" back into his left lane, showing a total disregard to you the car in front (you), doing a perfectly legal Hwy pass, the correct and safe way.The worst sort of driving...
Thanks Mac!😀 Yes, he was lazy, inconsiderate, dangerous, stupid! How else should we describe him?😇 Did you see some of the other comments? I should be asleep.. Thanks for contributing!
He only looked a little bit close. Reading between the lines I'd say his brain was on auto pilot, rather than anything personal. I wouldn't have accelerated just for that.
Maybe.... but if that's his auto pilot what's his attack mode like?😊 And it still raises the question about why was he so aggressive cutting to the left of me... I'm enjoying all the different views. Intelligent debate is very healthy👍
I quite often think that I need a sign that reads "THE CLOSER YOU GET THE SLOWER I GO"
Love it!😁😁😁 Who are worse? Male or female drivers?😋
There will always be 2 arguments. 1 is the “impatient “ driver should maybe have not overtaken the white car knowing he’d be taking the exit 500 metres ahead. The other is that when you both overtook the white car, impatient pulled back into the left lane leaving a reasonable distance between themselves and the white car but you perhaps didn’t expect him to be there and have merged back in too close which caused them to pull into the breakdown lane. But obviously they shouldn’t have passed you on the shoulder
Thanks Ian😁 A thoughtful and measured comment. Appreciated 👏 It made me think more about my actions.
Why are you cruising on the left? Use the right lane to cruise, left lane to pass slower traffic in the right lane.
Australia, we cruise on the left, pass on the right...or at least that is what is supposed to happen!
Nah. This is the same as South Africa. Keep left, pass right. That car was driving like an arse*ole.
Cam car should've just slowed down until the tailgater moved over to the right. Some people drive really bad 😠
I apologize. I didn't realize it was in Australia.
@pvman2 😁As we say in Australia: No problem 😊 Or: No ducking flurries😋
@petlaw99 Thanks😁
I’ve implemented a new free brake check system for morons who tailgate me because nothing pisses me off more. First brake check is with the pedal so they get a tail light warning & then if they don’t get the hint & keep doing it, they get the hand brake.
Technically it'sa three-point Brake Check system as I’ve ordered a sticker that says “Tailgaters receive free Brake Check”
Also I hate when they do what they did here only to turn off the free way 200 meters later…
I let the morons exist in their own world nowadays. But you would be surprised at the reach of TH-cam. One day, someone he knows will call him out on his behaviour 😁😁
Not contesting your likely position on this matter but with respect it looks like one of those situations wherein we would/I would need to view what happened over the previous 20 minutes in order to make a more reasonable comment. Having said that the vehicle behind wasn't driving responsibly/adeptly from the somewhat limited clip provided. (upvoted your upload). 😉
Thanks for the measured and polite comment😊 There is a link below the video (in the blank space) to the longer 2 minute video. Gives you a clearer picture. And also shows traffic in the other direction so we know we're not in the US. This was a very short section of 100 km speed limit (60 mile an hour?). 2 minutes from the front camera and 2 minutes from the rear camera condensed. Please have a look at the longer video and tell me what you think 😁
@@gdvdigital6534 Cheers. Again I'd like to have seen some 20 minutes of what had (or had not) been going on. What comes to mind for one thing is the possibility that he may have been delving out a sort of punishment say in the case that you were lingering in the passing lane. In the case that you weren't doing this, or some other annoying behaviour previously I would side with you and add that he was definitely driving in an odd and of course annoying way. There is no way you deserved this. But alas A/Hs on the roads these days abound, god help us all.
Cheers to you too😁 It's after 2am here but I'll write more of an explanation later. Suffice to say I agree something may have set this driver off earlier (it wasn't me!) Or... he's like that all the time!!😋
Campbelltown drivers. What do you expect?
😟
Testosterone before wisdom!
Ha ha!
I think this is just plain stupidity, testosterone has nothing to do with it. I've seen dumb women drive like this.
Yeah... I have seen the same. Question: Overall, which gender is more aggressive? And separately, I still believe there is only two genders.
Mount a washer bottle in the boot with irrigation nipples to mist the rotten prawn juice you fill it up with 😅 it works a dream
Ha ha!
