This Stubborn Car Driver Tries To Force A Trucker To Give Way And Causes A Seriously Stupid Crash
Usually it only takes one person to cause a crash, especially if that person doesn’t understand the rules.
This dash-cam video was reportedly shot a week or so ago by a truck driver in Australia, despite the footage being dated January 2016. The stubborn car driver on the left who is trying to merge with traffic clearly thinks the truck should get out of his way.
Aussie law on this is a bit confusing, but states that where there are lines separating the lanes you need to give way to traffic in the lane you’re merging into. It’s only when there are no lines at the merging point that the vehicle behind has to give way to the vehicle in front. Here, there are clearly lines all the way.
The car driver gallantly ploughs on, hits the truck and quickly ends up facing the way he came. Let’s hope he reads the rules next time!

Australian law on this situation is not confusing. It’s just everyone thinks they deserve right of way no matter what the rules state.
I have had cars do this to me many times before because they have to get 1 more car ahead because that way they think they have beaten the system
I have tried it too, this is close to the rules in Denmark and like this driver many is just as clever.
what I was thinking when I saw this:
Lol what a moron
It’s a good thing this kiwi wasn’t there.
