There is a law against just staying in the right hand land.

Common courtesy would be to move over to the left hand lane, cept OP decided to stay in the right hand land and antagonise the driver behind him

There wouldnt be a situtation if OP just moved over to the left hand lane as you are supposed to and required by law

yeah, keep left unless overtaking (i am a huge stickler for this rule too) which he was doing. way i see it he was overtaking at the speed limit (assuming the truck was doing 100km) guy came up speeding from behind, didnt like the fact he was taking too long, got impatient and then proceeded to road rage by tailgating and then jamming on the brakes when he got in front.

speeding is against the law, same with tailgating. and i know which of these three rules is the least dangerous to the other motorists.

I wasn't going to have it so I slowed down to 100kms to match the truck's speed, and he really hated it.

slowing down to 60kms in the right hand lane of the Hume is the best idea this guy had.

See the parallels?

You're your own worst enemy. Drivers are self righteous tools - how often do you see someone admitting wrongdoing or apologizing for their behaviour on the road? You weren't going to teach this guy a lesson he would learn and you know it, you just wanted to get revenge for him for sitting up your ass. Whatever you did, he was always going to continue on his way driving like a dick. Possibly even worse after being aggravated by another driver. So move over and have no part in his douchebaggery, then you get to live life without him bothering you for another second. You were both breaking the law in your own ways.

On roads that don't have overtaking lanes, I've had drivers sit up my ass before...I sit on the speed limit and they can do whatever they want. I don't slow down, I don't speed up. If they want to sit close enough that they don't have time to brake fast enough, that's their problem...which is why the law, 99% of the time, puts the car behind at fault in an accident. I'm not in control of his car, I'd rather focus on what's in front.

Lets face it though, who hasn't had people fly up behind them on the highway and tail gate them until they move? Doesn't mean you need to inflame the situation and I think that's what Artz was pointing out.

Scares me how many people actually backed OP and said they'd do the same thing.

Someone tailgates me on the highway I might get annoyed but certainly don't deliberately slow down to box cars in.

I get what your saying. But just speed up a little and move over to the left when you can, not slow down level with the truck to not let him pass

douchebaggery. <<<------------------- Word of the day. :)

this guy, he gets it :thumbsup:

They both acted like knobs but OP fails for coming here to brag/bitch about it and in doing so potentially flaming out a fellow member/enthusiast...

Its just bad form..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
