Here's the text from the Youtube site:
"Original description: Driver with learner's permit has ended up in the middle of the intersection after failing to stop in time for a red light. She then proceeded to reverse, but changed from the left lane to the right and accelerated."
Wonder if she passed her driving test ???
Poor rider was probably too shocked seeing the tintip reversing towards him so fast - just about all he could do was jump off at the last moment !
With tintop drivers like that, you could be driving a TANK and they'll still hit you !
Many decades ago, was driving an M-113 from the old depot in Midland to Karakatta barracks and some idiot in a Holden station wagon tried to pass us from behind on the left hand side at merging lanes going over the causeway from the Victoria park side towards the city.
Never heard or felt anything sitting in the drivers seat of the M-113 - first thing I knew about it was when the crew commander started yelling at me something about running over a car by that time we where half way over the causeway, stopped at Heirrison Island.
The traffic police turned up at our barracks later that day to investigate.
That was a lot of fun - so was the driving control test our CO insisted the two police officers go with me on - to prove how well I could drive and control a M-113.
Ever see one do a 'nose stand' ???
At 12 mph, grabbing the pivot brakes, pumping them once, then jamming them on full force, locks up both tracks, the rubber pads on each link of the tracks grabs the black top, no forward sliding & the forward momentum makes the beast pivot up and stand on its nose.
Any more the 12mph & the beast will flip up and all the way over onto it's top.
Lovely bit of flat blacktop right outside the CO's window - 12mph, quick pump and jammed on the pivots ! UP we went ! Vertical - WHEEE ! FUN ! (both the lovely policemen where standing up in the back with the cargo hatch open & their heads and shoulders out)
Told they where both quite green in the face and shaking a bit when they got out afterwards.
You've got to have as much fun as you can - whenever you can !
( ESPECIALLY when it's the governmint that is footing the bill for everything ! )
