I almost got collected twice in the space of about a minute by the same driver coming to work today. I was driving along (for the benefit of perth ppl) Tonkin Hwy coming from armadale and coming up to Roe Hwy going to turn right to midland. Roe Hwy runs over Tonkin so you exit to the left, go up a bank, wait at the stop lights to turn right.
Anyway, I was travelling the speed limit coming up to the turnoff, and a Daihatsu old something truck thing was infront of me doing about 80 so I'm like, slow dude, get in the lane he's not. As we go up the bank the road becomes three lanes, one left, two right, and he's moving to the left side. I'm like, ok, I'll take the right lane, and start moving up on the right. JUST as my nose comes past his tail he suddenly decides he wants the right lane, and swerves into it, leaving me to make a hasty tap on the brakes and move into the left lane. Now we are the first two cars up the top turning right, and as the lights go green, I take off, and even tho I'm in the outside, I'm going abit faster obviously and keep about level with him going around. About halfway around the corner I'm thinking, geez, he's running his lane abit wide, then I realise he's turning INTO MY LANE and I nail it to see him miss my tail by mere centimetres! Needless to say I nailed it so as to avoid driving in the same timezone as this potential organ doner.
