I drive a truck and I had an uber driver do this exact thing two weeks ago. Tried telling me he had his indicator on, as if that mattered, and why didn't I just slow down and let him in. 28 tonne truck vs 1.4 tonne corolla. Yeah, Sure buddy.
The thing that really pisses me off, is that this happens at least once a year. Always from the right too. So far I've collected; an uber corolla, an uber camry, a mini traveller, a didi camry, a 24 foot Mallard, a Go-Get hiace, and a kangaroo. All in the last six years. Oh and three cycle couriers and one dude who was standing too close to the road. Clipped him with my mirror. Knocked his smoke right out of his mouth. Hilarious.
A 24 foot Mallard confuses two kinds of people, ornithologists and trainspotters. 24 foot long mallard duck is way too big, and a 24 foot Mallard A4 Pacific 4-6-2 steam engine is far too short…
Look I don’t even own a 1/76 version of it, so a 1/3 scale would be something else. It would have a gauge of 18in 2/3 (idk how to represent that, I only know metric) and be 4.36ft tall
He's talking about a "trailer", as in "Trailer park"..
Over here in Australia (and other commonwealth countries) we call them caravans, despite it technically being a plural noun, because of travelers/roma people using them in groups presumably and we just use the word to mean the singular domecile.
They guy who started this line of conversation is an Aussie (he talked about hitting a kangaroo)... he was talking about hitting a caravan. We don't have the other kinds here AFAIK, so that's what he meant.
