Who was in the wrong during this driver stand-off caught on narrow Melbourne street?
THERE is a huge debate over who was in the wrong during this dramatic driver stand-off on narrow Melbourne street.
YOU ARE driving down a narrow suburban road and meet a car coming the other direction, who has right of way?
This was a question two motorists involved in a standoff on an affluent Melbourne suburb recently had to face.
So what did they do?
Dashcam video shows the motorists meeting on a narrow road in Toorak, with neither driver willing to let the other pass.
The man in the car filming with the dashcam says “what the f***” before the woman in the other vehicle makes her way toward him.
“You’re holding up the whole road,” he tells the woman from inside his car.
“You are a bully and a nasty typical man. I have the right of way,” she replies. “I came in the street first so you give way to me.”.
The woman eventually returned to her car when more traffic began to form behind the man and pulled to the side of the road to let him pass.
After being uploaded to Facebook page Dash Cam Owners Australia, the feud has sparked debate over who should have gave way.
Many people were quick to side with the female driver who got out of her car.
“He sped up when he saw the other car coming, he had plenty of room to move over and allow the other car past,” wrote one user.
While others sided with the dashcam driver.
“I can’t see anywhere he could have pulled into she had a big gap and should have pulled into it. There were cars either side of him for ages,” wrote one user.
“She had the room to be in correct lane at this point, cam was already locked mid lane. So she should give way. But both should just group beyond that point,” wrote one user.
And then there were those who didn’t care either way.
“Both idiots, both had a chance to pull over and didn’t, basically who cares,” wrote on user.
“What a pair of children, ‘Right of Way’ is not in the road rules, only the requirement to ‘Give Way’ something either one these adult babies could have easily done,” added another.
