They’ll be turning right in about 20km.

That guy, probably.
The right lane is the “fast” lane and they want to get where they’re going quicker.
Hey, let’s fight bad driving with bad driving and tailgate them.
I honestly feel this should be corrected the same way it is done in Europe.
Fine everyone doing it without a reason for it… people will immediately stop doing it
Why is this prick tailgating?
The ‘Keep left unless overtaking’ rule is misunderstannd from both sides
People regularly think it applies when it doesn’t, and then when it does apply lots of people ignore it
Fucking idiots and typical Sydney drivers.
Just change lanes and go around him. Easy.
What a moron. All they had to do was change lanes themselves but they probably think they’re not doing anything wrong.
because its funny to annoy impatient people like you
Given the hand actions, i think something has happened to their vehicle and they’re a bit scared to move across. They probably can’t see the left lane super clearly, and the left lane is pretty packed (because of them lol). I can see why jumping in the left lane there is slightly difficult, and it’s possible you’re blocking their view.
That’s a nice safe distance right there.
Looks like a heavy vehicle to me, likely a commercial bus.
Ya can blame the car ahead by being a dickhead, but as heavy vehicle driver ya suppose to be more mature.
Great demonstration of failing:
C8 – Create & maintain crash avoidance space (CAS)
C9 – Protect crash avoidance space (PCAS)
Pretty much following a dickhead driver like that creates an unnecessary risk to your passengers too, good on ya.
Best to go around? I mean if it’s just you in a car go ahead and aggravate the driver, but if I’m a passenger in your bus I expect to get to my destination safety.
Fighting slow driving with tailgating is like hovering behind someone at an ATM and sighing loudly. You’re not speeding anything up. You’re just announcing that you’re equally as unbearable.
I’m expecting downvotes for this, but…
You’re tailgating in a much larger vehicle, which will be obstructing the mirror views of the slower car ahead and making it way more dangerous for them to safely merge to the left.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Instead of making a dangerous situation even worse, be sensible and just go around them.
Sometimes (rarely, but sometimes) people don’t spend a lot of time on big three-four lane highways – they find themselves in a rare trip where they enter into the highway, end up in that right lane, and with all the traffic in the lanes to their left feel too intimidated/hesitant to make the merge at that higher speed. Add in another car or truck being behind them making them feel under pressure to go faster or move over, and they just kind of freeze/take a long time to get the courage or find enough left hand clear space between cars to make the move. It’s not always, you guys are right sometimes people are just douchebags or are turning right later and want to stay in the lane, but sometimes it’s a person just kind of freaking out into inaction on a highway.
He probably will move left when you stop tailgating him like a complete fuckhead. Just accept that not everyone follows all the road rules. If there’s someone going slow in the right lane, go around him. Sitting behind him like this actually wastes more of your time, and if it causes an accident it will waste even more of everybody’s time whilst they clear the road. But I don’t expect you to actually understand this logic.
Why is the cunt filming, tailgating – IN A FUCKING TRUCK!!
You’re tailgating him and he can’t see the left lane clearly enough to move over.
Stop tailgating, especially in trucks. YTA!
Absolutely should be driving in the left lane. I don’t get how that makes it ok to tailgate dangerously close though.
largely… people are stupid
Where’s your “2 seconds” distance? Tailgating is tailgating. Very dangerous especially in a heavy vehicle.
Whatever the car in front of you is doing, you’re tailgating in a stupid and dangerous way.
That stretch of road right there always drops to 40kmph when a stopping bay up ahead has a vehicle or if the middle strip is getting mowed.
Without the previous bit of footage I’d say the speed has changed and the truck tried to do what they always do… not slow down.
He’s deliberately slowing down. My guess is you flashed him while he was overtaking and now he’s going out of his way to piss you off
You pissed them off by tailgating them and now they want to hold their ground, get their own way and punish you. You’re better off just going around them and continuing to live life.
Prob the same reason youre tailgating . Small penis?
But you’re the true hero for tailgating. What’s your reason for this?
Stop tailgating them
Just tailgate them a bit closer, that’ll fix it.
You should lose your license for driving like a fuckhead
Yeah this pisses me off as well, but to be honest it looks like you’re in a truck and tailgating a small car, which is a dick and bully move regardless of their speed. They’re obviously not a confident driver even if they’re being annoying, and you could easily change lanes instead of acting like cunt and making them more nervous.
Also a lot of drivers, possibly ones like you, seem to think that the right hand lane is a permission slip to break the speed limit and will tailgate anyone sitting at that limit. Newsflash: it’s not, the limit is the limit, and trying to intimidate people into breaking the law is a cunt move. When it happens to me I have no problem slowing down and taking my sweet time, so that my dashcam captures all of your tailgating and other dangerous driving.
this post is a self-report lmfao
He’s driving slow because you’re being a cunt and tailgating him in a truck. Use some common sense.
As annoying as this is, tailgating is even more dangerous.
They might be annoying for travelling slow in the right lane.
But what you’re doing is far far worse and illegal.
Your literally tail gating while driving a bus.
If they put their breaks on you have no hope to stop a bus from smashing into the back of them from that distance.
You should not have a bus licence.
Don’t get me wrong I understand the frustration but what the hell were you thinking?
Idk but something makes me think uyou were getting angry he wasnt speeding for you, so you tailgated him, then he got pissed off and slowed down, then you started recording. You are way too close to that car.
They look like they’re going quite slow, so should definitely be to the left. But you’re not innocent here either, tailgating like that in what looks like a much bigger vehicle – which is considerably more dangerous and illegal than him going slow. So I’d argue you’re much more in the wrong here. Just go around him and toot on your way past. Right lane is for overtaking yes, but not speeding. If you need to “speed” to overtake, that means the person in the left lane is going the speed limit, and you should be too. Could you update us on how fast he was actually going too?
Driving isn’t hard. How can both drivers involved here be so damn shit at it?
If you try backing off so you aren’t threatening to crush him you might find he doesn’t stick right out of principle, because once you start tailgating at speed he may be thinking, I’m not going to reward dangerous driving by moving across as that will encourage it.
Downvoted me if you like but try it next time and see what happens. Two wrongs don’t make a right
Just a reminder that regardless you have to do the speed limit and there are equally as many drivers using the right lane going well over it.
Point is – let’s not be dicks on our roads but also let’s just be patient as well?
What an absolute tosser in the white car. Driving in the right lane on M7 and waving hand like they are in the right.
Looks like you’re tailgating them in a bus.
Also looks like they think your an arsehole (seems likely) and are driving slowly/gesturing at you to make a point.
Everyone sucks here.
They might be idiots, but it does not give you the right to tailgate them. Just overtake from the left and get on with life.
Why you tailgating ya muppet
Not sure how tailgating them is solving the problem…
I see two idiots, but tailgating OP is the bigger idiot
