Unbelievable driving.

My learner-driver oldest grand daughter was driving, with me sitting next to her. As a learner, we were limited to 90kph. As a result, by the time we reached the only overtaking lane on this stretch, there were about half a dozen vehicles behind us. Obviously, we kept to the left lane, and watched as one, two, three cars pssed, followed by a truck. At that moment a ute passed us on the left, driving with his left wheels in the gravel at perhaps 110kph, pulled in front of us, and then passed (still halfway out of the lane to the left) the truck that had just passed us and which was pulling into the left lane, having a near miss.

This afternoon, hving transferred it to my laptop, I took it to the police station. The constable there copied the footage with her phone, and said "I think I will go and have a talk to him!" Sounded a bit like she recognised the vehicle.

Only other incident on the trip was the Qld registered red P-plater who passed us on the Mitchell hwy - on a double line with oncoming traffic.

Welcome to the Boorowa road, one of the worst roads around here for that sort of behaviour, you did pick the wrong time to drive on it though, when all the blue and white plated vehicles are heading home after a big weekend.

I am quite familiar with the Booroowa Rd, and also the behaviour of the blue and white plates - but this vehicle had NSW plates, clearly readable in the dashcam footage.

ok, I give in, someone has to ask...

what is significance of blue and white plates?

I think all states offer blue and white personal plates.

ACT.

Having lived there the driving standard is pretty 'interesting'

I took a dash cam clip to the Cops in Rose Bay and they told me this dickhead was later intercepted near Yass , and my video will be used to help present a case if needed. wonder it its the same moron .

BTW don't want to hear armchair comments that I'm sitting in the right lane , I was towing a Van and overtaking slower traffic, the wide angle camera makes distanced look further than they are

I lived on the Boorowa Rd a couple of km north of the intersection with the Hume Hwy for a bit over a decade. I think its official name is the Lachlan Valley Way but we always called it the Boorowa Rd.

During that decade, three times neighbours had vehicles take out a section of fence. I was reliably informed that on each occasion the police found interesting substances in the boot. Maybe the drivers were sampling some of stuff they were delivering.

On one occasion, two dogs appeared at our place. As we were checking with neighbours to try to find the owners, one neighbour who was a member of the Federal Police told us that a couple of nights before that a vehicle had crashed and the driver had legged it. It appeared that he had abandoned the vehicle, his drugs and his dogs.

But you have to admit the Lachlan Valley Way is easier to pronounce than Boorawa Rd.[bigrolf] Well nearly.




The bastard! He left his drugs? Unthinking *****.[biggrin]
