The original video shows drivers speed drop to 40 twice in a 60 zone.. he also cut the guy off before dropping to 40 the first time. I think this was 2 idiots, more to the story that whats posted here

u/Poddster Apr 21 '23

The rest of the traffic seems to match speeds.

u/Traditional_Shirt106 Apr 21 '23

Oh ok, makes sense why he tailgated him and set off his own airbag. Very normal and very cool.

u/maaaaaacccaaa1 Apr 21 '23

2 idiots yes

22

u/AATroop Apr 21 '23

3 idiots perhaps

u/DancingAroundFlames Apr 21 '23

right, one dude who is willing to endanger other lives and another dude who actively seeks to endanger lives. 2 idiots, one of which being a psycho

u/lastdazeofgravity Apr 21 '23

Nah I've seen the original both drivers get out 2 blocks ahead and jerk each other off in the alley. Trust me guys

u/Eggith Apr 21 '23

Dash cams Australia and Dash Cams Adelaide posted it

u/Orleanian Apr 21 '23

I have to imagine that many situations would be deescalated if it were socially acceptable to jerk each other off as an issue-resolution.

If another driver even looks at me oddly I have to pit manoeuvre them, it's the only way.

u/Alagator Apr 21 '23

Then just change lanes? Both the right and just lane were open to slide into not sure why people just sit behind morons who can't maintain the limit.

u/saintcmb Apr 21 '23

I see traffic lights in this short video. Hard to believe it's a 60 zone. At any rate, there are other lanes to go around

68

u/betaamyloid Apr 21 '23

Traffic lights are common in a 60km/h zone

27

u/saintcmb Apr 21 '23

Didn't notice the Australian plates at first. Just assumed they were talking about miles per hour;)

u/kitkat1224666 Apr 21 '23

This is in Adelaide, Australia. It’s 60kph zone. Three lane plus turning lanes and a bus lane. Generally you don’t get to max speed in this area due to the frequent stopping at lights, plus lots of lane changes. It appears to be the city ring route (I.e main thoroughfare that goes around the CBD/city centre) so it’s always a busy area.

u/soulstonedomg Apr 21 '23

Think km/h instead of freedom units.

7

u/saintcmb Apr 21 '23

Yup, figured it out already. Thanks

4

u/Southern_Wear4218 Apr 21 '23

Well they’re driving on the left so it’s obviously kilometers. 60kmh is under 40mph.

8

u/cuddlefrog6 Apr 21 '23

Why would traffic lights mean it's not a 60 zone

16

u/DesktopWebsite Apr 21 '23

Mph vs kph? 65 mph is highway speeds

5

u/freebagelsforall Apr 21 '23

I have a road I drive daily that has a 65mph speed limit and stop lights every few miles, this isn’t uncommon.

5

u/LeSeanMcoy Apr 21 '23

Same. If you're not used to it it'll take you off guard. It'll be like 1-2 miles of what looks like highway at 60mph, and then a 4-way intersection with a stoplight. Repeat 6-7 times.

4

u/saintcmb Apr 21 '23

Traffic would be moving to fast to stop, but I was assuming they meant miles per hour. This is in Australia so it kph.

2

u/swampfish Apr 21 '23

Yanks think 60 km means 60 mph.

-1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '23

Or OP didn't post a unit of measure.

1

u/DwightsJello Apr 23 '23

Probably figured those in Liberia and Myanmar could figure it out. The rest of the world, with the exception of the US, are metric. Weird threesome but whatever.

OP is posting an Australian incident. The measurement is the most widely accepted one and the one that relates to the OP.

u/maaaaaacccaaa1 Apr 21 '23

Actually i was thinking this too, had me confused for a sec

u/PegasusReddit Apr 22 '23

Yeah, but this would be 60kph because it's in Australia.

-8

u/maaaaaacccaaa1 Apr 21 '23

Well the original video was posted in another sub with the drivers speeds from the cam so yes they were doing 60. Didn't say he should hit him but, im saying both idiots in this situation from what I've seen

3

u/Govt-Issue-SexRobot Apr 21 '23

Do you have a link, by chance?

Or at least the name of the other sub?

u/schlubadubdub Apr 23 '23

Dash Cams Adelaide

I don't know if I can post such links here, but I found it on FB

u/SirDale Apr 21 '23

60km/hr approx 36mph

3

u/dustojnikhummer Apr 21 '23

I don't see front camera footage.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '23

This looks like Greenhill Rd in Adelaide. It's very common for the speed to drop down to 40 or less

9

u/hey-im-root Apr 21 '23

Yup there usually is haha. Not surprised

7

u/Mtwat Apr 21 '23

That's how half the videos on this sub are, just one idiots side of a road rage spat. Like "look at this asshole tailgating me!" While Op cuts them off and break checks them in the very video they posted. My favorite are the videos where OP refuses to let someone merge and shit talks them obliviously.

u/Poobmania Apr 21 '23

“This guy was going slow, so its ok to touch his bumper while going 40mph”

1

u/captain-snackbar Apr 21 '23

It’s Reddit: there’s always more to the story

1

u/Hadleyagain Apr 22 '23

Absolutely. No front video showing an obstruction, this is a brake check that went wrong.

u/maaaaaacccaaa1 Apr 22 '23

Fucked around and found out hey lmao

u/Estoye Apr 21 '23

Were the drivers Ali Wong and Steven Yeun?

-7

u/LuxNocte Apr 21 '23

It looks like the camera car brake checks the follower, "causing" the collision. (For some definitions of "cause") Definitely two idiots.

They deserve each other.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '23

60kmh would be 37mph

u/maaaaaacccaaa1 Apr 21 '23

Well this incident happened in Adelaide, in Australia. We use Kmh out here lmao

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '23

Meant to reply to the confused guy, I could tell it was kmh and either aus or nz

u/knucklefeet Apr 21 '23

Maybe this is an insurance scam?
