Car almost flips onto roof as another vehicle merges into its lane
Merging into another lane in peak hour traffic can sometimes be a difficult task, and one video taking on a busy road in Sydney has shown us exactly how not to do it.
The footage, which was captured on a busy Sydney road and posted on Dash Cam Owners Australia is as perplexing as it is worrying, and both drivers involved in the incident were quick to point the finger of blame at the other party.
Hundreds of commenters have had their say on the incident.
“Whether indicator on or not, you can not merge until it is 100 per cent clear to do, so merging driver must ensure it is safe to merge. Even a 10 year old kid knows that,” one man wrote.
Amazingly, the woman in the vehicle involved came across the video and commented on the post.
“This is going to help so much with the insurance process,' she wrote.
“I was the one the lady hit and she even has the nerve to blame me like it was my fault! She said ‘I indicated and you had enough space for me to merge in front of you.’ She didn't even stop or come back just continued driving like nothing happened.”
Road rules in New South Wales state that merging motorists must give way to vehicles in the lane they are tyring to move into.
“Before changing lane, signal in plenty of time and check for other vehicles by looking in your mirrors and your blind spot,” the rule book states.
What are your thoughts? Who do you think is in the wrong?
