Hope the truckie is okay. He had no chance of stopping!
I see it a lot when I am driving with people pulling out of side streets unsafely. Often when traveling along a road there is none behind me and a driver on the side street just had to wait 1 second later for me to pass and then they can pull out safely and dawdle if they want to after I pass. Instead they just pull out in front of me and we are forced to brake, and slow down until they wake up and get into a higher gear and finally speed up to what the traffic around them is doing.Quote:

I hope the Suzuki driver's insured, those Texas bars don't come cheap.Quote:

I would have the footage on blackvue.
At the moment WA police cant use private dashcam footage,there are calls for them to be able to use it,especially if its inbedded with gps info.

Every time I see one of those stickers and don't see a baby on board in the car I think it has been catapulted out of the car by heavy braking. Most stupidist thing ever soldQuote:

all at high speed to clear for the on-coming traffic who were flicking their lights up and down and veering to the side , could have been a catastrophic result only for the skill of the truckie , well done mate . This sort of moronic behavior is getting to the normal way of driving in WA , if not Oz .
Last time I was driving home I was on single lane between Georgetown & Mt Surprize when a Toyo Ute with a boat on came up behind me, I was sitting on 105.
It was a bit hilly so they just sat on my clacker, like real close.
I came over a hill around a bend & there was a family of Emus all over the road, so I brake hard, look in the mirror & the boat is sideways & the Ute sideways the other way & it's all coming at my bum in a hurry.
I off the brake & pick a spot between 2 emus, just sneak through still doing about 70.
The clowns behind me didn't follow so close after that, in fact they stayed about 1k back.
I think they stoped in Mt Surprize to change their undies because I didn't see them after there.
If they hadn't been right up my backside I could have stopped easily.

I was rear ended yesterday by a Pajero, I was working in my Isuzu ute. Stopped at traffic lights and just suddenly got shunted from behind.
We pulled over up the road to swap details. Turns out we couldn't even see where he hit my ute, his alloy nudge bar with spotties was bent back slightly, we pulled it straight. He was so apologetic, said he just for some reason hit the wrong pedal.
We shook hands, wished each other Merry Christmas and went on our way again.
I'd guess we both ended up driving more safely for the rest of the day.
