Thread: Snubbed By a SVX

Ummmm seems it's a type of Deefa, maybe he cant take 1 hand off the wheel.

There may have been a side wind

The "same direction" rule only applies in built-up areas and dual carriageways. On outback highways you can exchange waves in either direction but on a dual carriageway you still risk driving side-by-side and the aforementioned awkwardness arises.
