Driving south on the freeway this afternoon a copper pulled someone up on a bend.
The idiot had finished with him and the idiot he pulled up pulled out in front of me. I was doing roughly 100ks in a 110 zone and had to brake sharply.
You'd think the f^ckers would learn.
Remind me most recent trap setup on sharp bend at motorway exit.
I hit the cruise control to slow from 100 to marked 80 but before even car slow down there was police car inside this narrow tunnel already pointing laser then jump into their cruiser and force me to stop in similar place you never want to risk.
Mercedes cruise control is not equipped to brake that speed instantly, specifically on busy motorway traffic.Then placing patol car is such place will ask for disaster, never mind forcing me to stop at the place where no one should, unless really , really something brake up terribly. Setting intentionally traps that only increase traffic incident risk should be disallowed. Like popular here 80km on straight motorway stretch with mobile camera only excuse and reason.It may looks that to this Victorian disaster all three parties may contributed equally.
Story of the truck driver is still unknown but already looks murky.
