Dashcam catches extraordinary act moments before collision

A tradie who stormed out of his car after a collision on a Sydney highway has been roasted online for his behaviour moments before the crash.

A tradie whose ute was rear-ended moments after he brake-checked a driver has been roasted online.

Dashcam footage shared to social media captured the ugly road rage clash on the Pacific Highway in Greenwich, Sydney, around midday on Monday.

The clip begins with the driver with the mounted camera being frustratedly honked from behind as he sits in the right lane at a set of traffic lights.

The honking continues as the dashcam driver moves on from the lights before a white work ute overtakes.

The ute veers back in front and aggressively hits the skids.

The driver with the dashcam cannot stop in time as the ute’s tray scrapes up its bonnet.

Two tradies emerge peacocking from the work ute as the car driver behind yells, “I can’t believe you did that, mate. Why did you do that for? (sic)”

“You didn’t give me any time (to stop) man.”

One of the aggressive tradies demands the drivers’ licence, presumably for insurance purposes, shortly before the video cuts out.

The clip sparked outrage when it made its way to the popular Facebook group Dashcam Owners of Australia later that day, though most sided with the driver who filmed the affair.

Some agreed the tradies were unnecessarily aggressive.

“Love the arms up like a seagull,” one commented about their posturing.

Others said the video has made the insurer’s job easier.

“Your insurance company is going to love that video,” one noted.

“He’ll get his. You did nothing wrong, and it’s all on tape,” Added another.

Others praised the driver for keeping his cool.

“Congrats to the driver with the dashcam for remaining so calm,” one said.

Another added: “Good job for staying so calm! There’s no way I could have walked away without ripping into this k**b.”
