American Reacts to Bad Aussie Drivers & Near Misses LOL

[@DemonPegasus]

Fun fact about all the swearing. A while back the channel did a poll about whether to make a censored version of the compilations and it was an overwhelming victory for swearing only. We all love to hear the creative insults that our fellow Aussies come up with, some of them become legendary.

The hardest thing I found when in the US is making eye contact. As a biker, you always try to make eye contact with another driver when in doubt. I found myself thinking why is there a kid driving that car! He wasn't, he was a passenger! Did it often.

The most beautiful thing I saw in my life was a hoon doing a burnout in a major intersection in Sydney at a busy time of the weekend. About 10 seconds after he started, I heard a loud siren, then saw the unmarked police car pull out from the very front of the lights! You could see people in their cars cheering (for the cops) as this idiot had totally disrupted the traffic and was being quite dangerous.

[@utha2665]

Aren't there hoon laws that can get their car confiscated and crushed?

[@dutchroll]

@@utha2665 yes they vary slightly from state to state. Most of the hoon laws give police the power to impound the car depending on the circumstances and repeat offenders can end up having it forfeited to be disposed of (sold or destroyed).

[@larissahorne9991]

My late Dad was one of the worst drivers I ever knew but He died before Dashcam was a thing in 2003. He was the type to crash into Parked Cars. If He decided to turn He'd put on His Indicator and Go. Even if it was across three lanes of traffic on a Main Arterial Road in Brisbane. In the late 90's My Big Sister Did Brisbane's Drivers a major favour. She told the Police all about Him and they took His Licence Away. In the early 90's when I was 13 Mum and I left Him because He was also Abusive. Unfortunately He never changed because of His Stubborn Pride He'd never admit to Being Wrong or Being To Blame for anything. He was Impossible To Live With. Mum was a Fantastic Lady and Wonderful Mother. Her Sister's Husband was My Favourite Uncle and Father Figure to Me. What a Sweet, Kind Gentleman He was.

[@Areyousayingidontknowmyname]

My family and I went to Lorne for a week as a Christmas vacation. One day I was inside the car (2004 BA Ford Falcon XR6) with my family when we saw a kangaroo jump past by our car, and a second later we saw a tiny cute dog run after the Kangaroo. About 30 seconds later they came back and ran the opposite direction and this time the Kangaroo was chasing the dog. That happened a few years ago and i still remember it to this day, I will never forget that moment. XD. And in the second clip I think there is a black VE HSV Senator. And at 5:21 there is A BUNCH of noice aussie cars.

[@alikattbrien2382]

Also that road up the coast I think might be The Great Ocean Road here in Victoria. It was built by returned soldiers from WWI as a memorial to their fallen comrades and holds the record as the world’s largest war memorial at 240km between Torquay (where Bell’s Beach is) and Warrnambool, passing The 12 Apostles along the coast, though I think only about 9 of these natural formations are currently standing. The sculptor who built some of the recent archways over TGOR also sculpted some stuff for my high school in Geelong. You should do a review on The Great Ocean Road and the Otway Ranges.

Yes and just encourage drivers (in this case so called professional driver) just to continue driving illegally when ever they want is a better idea. I would have driven further ahead before slowing down so that the truck would not have had an option to keep driving in between and would have been forced to back up or go around. Or better yet, wait until all the traffic had gone by. That really would have annoyed them having to wait like they should have waited in the first place LOL. Ofc I drive a much bigger and older beat up vehicle too. That idiot should have had his licence pulled and I would have made a note to try and call that company to help with that anyway I could.
