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!
