Lets try for a Merry Christmas

olfella · 21-12-2015, 06:52 PM

I came across this article where a dash cam took footage of a impatient driver overtaking outside of Melbourne. This impatience could have spoilt more than one drivers/passengers Christmas as well as those that have to attend accidents.
I hope by posting this article that if we are placed in a similar situation in the coming weeks, we can reflect and back off. It just is not worth the pain.

Wtf are they thinking honestly? Just dumb.

Unfortunately this time of year flushes out all of the moronic drivers like this one. This sort of behaviour is so common place on our roads now all year round that it's frightening.
What can I say.........Be safe out there people.

If people didn't drive so slow then other people won't get angry to the point they do something irrational.

Merry Christmas everyone, buy your loved ones a bus pass.

So the Commodore driver was just irrational ?

Those last two remind me a little of a recent accident I was in.

Guy pretty much merged into the front of my car, but unlike those drivers, he was in an actual lane on the road.

Thankfully he also apologised and accepted responsibility. It was all quite civil really.

Intolerance does not justify irrational behavior...!!!!

It always seems towards this festive time of year more displays of utter stupidity than usual occur, especially with drivers, at times i wish i did not have a motor vehicle licence .....seriously !
humans just scare me sometimes, and it doesn't matter the gender , every year towards the end of November i say i wish it was end of January , because the silly season would be over , this time of year many people just seem to change mentally ...... maybe its sun spots or some outer worldly reason for their state of mind ?

Ignorance and selfishness doesn't justify the behaviour of slow and daydreaming motorists.

In neither of those videos do the cars appear to be going too slow. Just saying.

Mmmm, Christmas hols not off to the best start as BA was run into yesterday at a roundabout by an uninsured driver who said he didn't see me.
Just hit me as i was exiting the roundabout.
Enough for nearly $4000 damage as of the first quote i have.
Repairer or write-off?

99AUXR · 22-12-2015, 09:35 PM

Doesnt look like much but it will probably be write-off.

I have crohn's disease which is a painfull bowel condition and I have trouble controlling my BM'S and even I don't drive like that when something is going wrong down there. What are these people thinking.

Also the scary thing is a lot of people are off they're head on prescription medications and even the police can't do anything about it cause it's legal to drive on prescription medication. It makes a lot on people very hyper and antsy and they become crazy and do dumb things on the road.

Ouch. I've been thinking I definitely don't want a silver car again because people seem to keep hitting me. I figure silver is hard to see. If people can't see bright red cars either, I've got no hope.

I drive a bus and people struggle to see it at times.

Unless its got blue and red lights on top of it, its impossible to see for some.
