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.

Ah, yes, JD, you've fallen into the same trap I and a lot of others have fallen into. We all thought that the 'P' on a vehicle denoted 'Provisional' but alas, it apparently denotes 'Privileged'!

That isn't really an issue,as being a Qlder,the "P" means professional

Mac or PC? GarageBand will let you cut the video up.

Linux. I've got software that will do it, but I have yet to figure out how to work it.

I always thought it meant 'Pathetic'.

Whatever it means, they're all in competition with each other, trying to be the first to lose their licence or write the car off.
