My mate was turning right into Burke street yesterday and a SS ute pulls up next to him. The ute is fairly new, maybe 2 years old, and he was also turning right but he wanted our lane as there was parked cars in Burke street.
The bloke takes it real wide, puts his foot down and gets the back out, shits himself then over corrects, goes up onto the nature strip and smashes through a brick letter box and the car rolls up onto its side and slides straight into a brick wall. I watch the whole thing happen from the back seat of my mates pajero. We pulled over and jumped out called and ambo and helped the guy and his girlfriend out. Luckily neither were seriously injured, but it looked bad. Stupid bastard. |

Its something you will never understand, they have to be vigilant of the much slower fords around them..until you drive one you will never appreciate the massive increase in horse power available from under the bonnet of said "Comodoor"

Only recently I changed company vehicles from VZ SV6's to a new Camry. In the Commodores, I had just as many Ford drivers to dumb things around me as to what Commodore drivers do to Fords. Idoits drive all brands.

It doesn't matter what brand of car he was driving. The problem is people breaking the law, and driving beyond their limits in public. It makes me hope this guy had his insurance claim rejected.

Do it on a bloody track. He probably would have ended up in a sand trap, not a brick wall. Gosh..

hahaha, oh lighten up everyone far out, i didnt realise that everyone that drives a ford is a responsible driver and never done anything wrong, and all holden drivers are complete tossers, and all deserve to crash, because they drive a different brand of car.

People as a whole won't ever learn.
Throw all the education, all the penalties etc and they'll still be jerks. Sounds bad, but those who do stupid things with no regards for others are doing us a favour by wiping ONLY themselves out. There are bad drivers of every model, but not pointing the finger, I see more Commodore hoons than anybody else. |

Sounds like he kept his humour which is a sure sign he knows he *&^&ed up.
These things happen to us all at some point in our life during a moment of total stupidity. Bet he is wishing he merged instead of shoved anyway.

These things happen when you act like a knob and thankfully he only took out himself this time and no-one else, maybe he will learn a lesson too?
