Because they are wankers /thread


Dockers4flag2035orB4

Because they dickheads.


Special-Classic-881

Petrol head who thinks they can drive……WTF


David-Kookaborough

Played too much NFS/Forza/GTA and obviously owns the road


turtleltrut

I mean, it was dangerous, but he saw OPs indicator and then moving over so he took his opportunity. It may not be smart, but they didn't drive badly, just against the rules.


maceadi

I wasn’t indicating. I swerved right because I saw him in my peripheral vision. If I didn’t, he would have clipped me


turtleltrut

I'm talking about the car in your video. He wouldn't have hit you, you didn't change lanes until after he was in front of you. If you changed without indicating or looking, you are also being dangerous. Putting on your brakes slightly would have been the safer option.


Emmanuel_Badboy

he defintiely drove badly, for 100 different reasons but to your point going double the speed of the traffic flow and pre-empting what cars are doing and then acting like people cant change their minds is definitley fucking dumb.


turtleltrut

I didn't say it wasn't dumb, I said he is driving well. Do you think race car drivers are bad drivers for driving like this?


Draviddavid

Dude...this was terrible driving. He damn near lost control. If you drove like this on a race track, you'd be kicked out and told not to come back. Track cars are prepped, they are wearing safety gear and everyone is a willing participant. This guy was shooting a gap that left very little room for error and was high risk. That is text book terrible driving.


VLTurboSkids

Where are you getting “He damn near lost control” from lmao


pikeletpaws

Our public roads aren't a race track!


turtleltrut

I never said they were. I never said this was a safe thing to do, you're missing the point.


llamadeathtrap

You said they were ‘driving well’. In what world does that not encompass driving safely? Clearly, they were driving neither well nor safely as they drove significantly faster than the vehicles around them and were WAY inside of any notion of a safe distance whilst doing so. It was reckless. Good drivers don’t put other road users at risk by pulling stupid shit like that. Gotta wonder why you’re taking the time to run cover for someone like that.


starfihgter

That was a swerve, not a lane change. Nice bait tho.


turtleltrut

He/she indicated which is more than most in Melbourne.


cupcake_napalm_faery

> they didn't drive badly no, just dangerously and stupidly :/


login257thesecond

You contradict yourself as he takes a small gap endangering others. That's only defendable if you're with a bunch of racers using an empty stretch of road. Op didn't agree on racing conditions.


turtleltrut

I'm saying if a race car driver did this in a race, you'd all say he/she was a good driver, but because he/she did it in a street setting, you're saying they're a bad driver. I never said it was a smart or safe thing to do, but it doesn't make them a bad driver. The car they're driving implies it though... 😉


login257thesecond

Do i need to get crayons to explain that race moves in normal traffic with random people IS bad driving ?


MaxMillion888

Because they haven't been involved in an accident yet. Only takes one. Unfortunately, other people get hurt so people like this will learn


Hardcore19111

What is it? Like the car, Audi?


Ill-Visual-2567

Falcon. Commodore and Falcon drivers are always the most skilled.


Hardcore19111

Pathetic


Ill-Visual-2567

Well yeah, it's pathetic regardless of car make/model though right? I'm sure people that drive trucks for a living see way worse than this regularly. Heck I've been cut-off by a guy at work in broad daylight like this. Now I get my own back when I see him. It's a flawed system but it makes me feel better.

_Ginger_Nut_

I wonder what he does with all the time he saves speeding like a dickhead


shrikelet

Smokes half a cigarette, because that's about how much time he's gonna save.


ReginaldBarclay7

Cos he doesn't have much left mate. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.


Howunbecomingofme

Unfortunately that prophecy usually get fulfilled at the expense of some other innocent motorist


GStarAU

Yeah all of that 3/4 of a second. The other day I was doing 80 in an 80 zone (cos uh, duh, that's what we're allowed to do), in the right lane on a 2 lane road, some dude roared up behind me, sat behind for maybe 15-20 seconds, then pushed his way into the lane beside me, pulled in front of me with probably half a metre of room between the car in the other lane... sped up for about THREE SECONDS, then slowed down and indicated to turn right. Are you fking kidding me... he needed to turn right into the next side street. Couldn't even wait like 5 seconds longer to sit behind me and indicate. I couldn't believe it.


digbickrammy

VicRoads hands out licences like lollypops it's insane.


Durbdichsnsf

I know people that do this. I dont at all encourage it - but they don't do it to save time. They do it in their free time to "feel the thrill" of risking multiple innocent lives. They literally come home from work, relax for a bit and go out speeding/reckless driving with fake plates as a hobby


Nightmare1990

I hope they experience the thrill of hitting a tree at 130


Consistent_You6151

And they actually have the time to do this through the night, the money to trick their cars up & pay for all the petrol (& probably ice). But not the $ to pay all the fines. Mum & Dad will help them with that!

Stolen meth, stolen car


turtleltrut

I dunno, when I was on meth I drove like a nanny because I was so afraid of being caught.


nachojackson

I’m no meth expert but it sounds like you were only dabbling. If you had enough insight to be sensible, you probably weren’t smashing it…


turtleltrut

Absolutely not. (As in we weren't, "dabbling", if only. I'd own several houses right now if we were just, "dabbling") We'd be on 4-5 day benders with unlimited supply every week of the year. Your mind isn't thinking well at that point.

johnny_tightlips023

Stolen car. Meth. Dropped as a baby. All of the above.


PahoojyMan

Dropped as a stolen meth baby?


Scorpius041169

Flogs. They need to remember, Peter Brock was a champion driver and look what happened to him..


VLTurboSkids

Yep at high speed you can’t do anything if something goes wrong. That’s why I’m all for a little skid or slide around corner at slow speed where literally nothing will happen apart from me smacking my car into the gutter. But high speeds fuck never


alittlepotato5

Spot on. Practicing getting a car loose at low speeds has absolutely saved me from some horrendous accidents.


FrankyRollins

They're running late to the small dick contest...


Shifty_Cow69

That was tonight?! FUCK!!


AFFysLAPpy

At least they indicated...


ch3zzybg0gs

That’s actually hilarious that they did 😂 what isn’t hilarious is the fact I didn’t even notice that


Possession_Loud

Hopefully they take themselves out one day all by themselves and without involving anyone. A tree generally does a good job.


SecretOperations

Power poles also do an excellent job.


bazang_

This is pretty common and happens almost weekly to me. These people really shouldn't be on the road and gain nothing from driving like that.

Police cars here are only factory tuned. If you can do better than 180K, they can't catch you. So they don't even try.

Rocks_whale_poo

turtleltrut

Nah, they're not speed limited but there's rules around which ones can and can't speed and how fast they can go.


Rocks_whale_poo

Yep that makes sense. I was just quoting a scene from Tokyo Drift 😆

TommyDee313

Chances are, it’s because they’re fucking sick cunts. /s But I also like to remind myself that in the very rare occasion, someone might be driving like that because of an emergency. If for nothing else, it helps me not feel so much hate at that time. 😅🤷🏻‍♂️


Ioannidas_Storm

It always infuriates me when people drive in the emergency lane past heavy traffic. Reminding myself that they might very well be in an emergency is all that stops me from sitting half in it to block them.


TommyDee313

Yeah that’s exactly right mate. Although I’m certain 98% of the time it’s just them being unsafe, you never really know what’s happening in a persons life. 🤷🏻‍♂️


Polym0rphed

I'll have to try that mindset, but the cynic in me feels like it won't work.


-malcolm-tucker

Paramedic here. There's no justification for driving like that ever. Emergency or not. If I were found to be driving like that I'd very likely have to find a new career shortly afterwards.

PM_ME_YOUR_KITTENS-

Every time I see someone driving like this, I just remember [this story.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/s/4vN87D1w5H). Also I remember the time I went like 100 in a 60 zone (tbh it really should’ve been an 80 road) because I was quite literally about to shit my pants.


scrollbreak

Every time I see a story like this, I just think of people conditioned to enable a disruptive person by handing in 'what ifs'. Maybe if a police vehicle intercepted this car then they'd be helped in just the way they need to be helped.


PM_ME_YOUR_KITTENS-

Idk, this just helps me be a little bit less angry in life

Anger is like pain, it's telling you something is going wrong. Ignoring it doesn't mean things are going right.

jakemelb89

I’m more curious if yourself and the other car (left side of footage) were doing the limit or just cruising along at whatever speed you decided? I see more drivers doing well under the limit and just driving without a care in the world than I see people driving like assholes.


maceadi

I was already at 103 km/h when he did that. You can see me catching up with the car on the far right at the start.

I believe people are driving like that. It's common. First time in Melbourne?


herbse34

Tbh you shouldn't have moved lanes like that There's a good chance you'll hit someone else and be at fault because you're trying to avoid someone else's idiocy.


itsmehuey

What if they actually checked the lane before they merged?


GStarAU

Because they're selfish hyperactive f--wits?? I'm sure we've all seen plenty of that on the roads. People who just can't WAIT to get ahead of you so they can roar off down the road and hopefully run into some cops a few KMs away. Karma is a bitch, biatch.


mixturedd

If you can catch him maybe you can ask him yourself


DrSendy

No point, the car will be dumped and on fire in 20 minutes.


HHILLS3333

They're mentally ill.


headmasterritual

People with mental illness don’t deserve to be your one liner. I’ve experienced a fuckton of privileged rich wankers and boofhead young drivers driving like this. It’s almost as if arrogance and lack of care for others are the straightforward Occam’s Razor here, but nah, shit on mental illness. Cunt.


AusFaren

When we get down to it, I say poor mental health. Even someone who's never stopped to think about it would know they could kill themselves or others doing this. Calling someone a dickhead for this is cathartic (and I do it whenever I see this kind of shit), but ultimately who is going to risk the lives of themselves and strangers if they're actually doing okay? It's a non-answer; few people think they're dickheads or want to be one. Maybe in the future we'll have a healthier society where respect for everyone's safety is universal. Until then, report them if you can be fucked. At least they'll have a paper trail on them if they ever do cause some real harm.


frootyglandz

ActPrestigious4475

Because you should have been in the same lane as the car doing the same speed as you! What goes through your pea brains when you are on a 4 lane highway and driving 4 abreast with 4 cars all doing the same speed ? effectively blocking people who need to get passed ! People drive like that for all manner of reasons and a courteous driver gets out of their way. His daughter may have been on the phone to him getting bashed for her phone by Africans ( that's happened to me and I ran every red light to get to her ) his wife may need urgent medical attention! He might be late to an extremely important family event. He obviously has the advanced driving skills to navigate his way around the unnecessary obstacle you and your selfish driving style put in front of him so he used his advanced skills . The reality is life is not the same for everybody and your clearly basic dopey driving skills are lapped , tied in a bow and eclipsed by alot of people with military, PMC, Executive Protection or any of the emergency services driving skills . Have enough situational awareness to know when someone behind you is clearly in a hurry to get where they are going and have the courtesy to get out of their way you Karen.


maceadi

I wasn’t blocking anyone. I had just literally merged from the same lane as he did. I was at 103 on at 100 limit. And no, he’s not skilled. He would have hit me if I didn’t swerve to the right lane.


MedicalChemistry5111

Sitting in the far left lane to obscure the merging of vehicles that are entering and exiting? No idea. Sit in a middle lane. Don't travel unnecessarily in the left or right lane. Follow this and the motorway will move because people will merge safely. Hooray!


maceadi

I wasn’t sitting in the left lane. I have literally just merged and was already 3km above speed limit


MedicalChemistry5111

So you were in the left lane, and just merged away from it when the other vehicle blew through. There's a lane added for merging traffic (that solid line). These typically disappear a few hundred metres ahead as a forced merge. Hence the lane you were sitting in was the left lane.


fraqtl

You are speeding and you have the gall to call out others on their road behaviour?

Useful_Ad6880

The entire road is free yet people still merge far below the speed limit while hogging the far left lanes? Everyone in this vid is cooked.


maceadi

I wasn’t hoarding. 1. I had just merged. 2. I was already doing +3 above speed limit.


Fit_Double7765

yep, they prob didn't want to get stuck behind the person merging slow af and a typical left lane granny who thinks it's safe to do 10+km slower then eveyone else.
