There is a type of experience that all motorists have had in their life. It is a formative, annoying and, most of the time, horrifyingly long experience: tail. Anyone who has been in these conditions on the motorway, on the freeway or at an interchange knows how impossible it can be to get the right queue in order to gain some time, and in the end the general advice is always to remain calm, and remain steadfast in the own mailbox just like in the post office. However, there is always someone who wants to take advantage of the situation, of a hole that is created, of a space that opens up. And a video that comes from Australia fully demonstrates this.
Page Dash Cam Owners Australia has an incredible collection of videos, recorded precisely by the cameras positioned in the cars, which show risky maneuvers, accidents, close encounters of the third type with pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles. In a video ‘captured’ by the camera last November 24, and entitled “When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object“, Ie“ When an unstoppable force finds an immovable object ”, it is shown how doing maneuvers as a gradassi, perhaps thanks to their road size, does not lead to anything good.
When a two-lane road changes to a narrow lane as only one vehicle passes by at a time, a Toyota pickup truck sits alongside a Mazda sedan. It seems that Mazda is the one to have the right of way and to queue up behind the car on which the dash cam that is capturing the scene is mounted. But the driver of the pickup doesn’t give up. He tries to make his way in any way, and the two cars come very close to physical confrontation. The one-lane road ends at a roundabout, where the pick-up is still trying to overtake, continuing undaunted alongside the Mazda.
His ride, however, ends when a driver of a van, who was observing the whole scene looking in the rear-view mirrors, decides to slow down to let the cars that are on the right side of the road pass from the pick-up. After a wave, he passes the car with the dash cam, and then the Mazda passes. The pick-up also tries, trying to deviate, but the van – placidly – sets off again and places itself in front of it, avoiding any other attempt to flank.
