Thread: bad driving hotrodder in a 32 Tudor

Tweet

I'll put my 2c worth in here too.
I don't know that particular road as well as Whip and Robin do, but I have driven over it, and their comments about the road are bang on the mark.
I too know the driver of that '32, and the absolute stupidity of his actions surprised me; I wouldn't have thought he would do something like that.
And as Roger noted; that car is instantly recognisable anywhere.
He was in the wrong...no two ways about it.
Stupid stupid boy.

.

looks like he is going viral. by this time next week he will be know around the world as the worst streetrodder alive and well deserved.

Shine,bud..there are a lot of rodders defending the guy..Mainly because,as I said before,,the average driver doesnt like being stuck behind a truck,,and therefore,they are deemed a nuisance..They seem to forget just how much of their everyday needs are delivered by truck in this country..As you can see in the video,others on the road are willing to put their own lives at risk by doing dorky passing manoevres to get around Mr streetrodder of the year,as well..
DMW56,,you might have a point there,,will see if we can change to driving on the other side.....Yeesh,,you think its bad now,,can you imagine what it would be like if we changed to the right hand side of the road......

I have not seen this anywhere else but here, but apparently it's gaining a wide following. Shine, where are you seeing "...a so called streetrodder defending this guy"? Just curious.

I saw comments going back over a month ago about this some where---looked like a major multicar crash was just barely averted right after the finger----thought I might even have detected some tire smoke off the suv rear tires

Funnily enough guys,I had asked on the NZ hot rod site where this was discussed, to what sort of reprimand the guy was to face through his own club and or the NZ association, as we are such a small country of 4 million people with approximately 3 to 4 thousand rodders,this incident certainly reflects on all of us. But sadly apart from saying it has been seen too,it appears that unless you are in that club or know the guy personally, it is to be swept under the mat and forgotten.

He might be talking about my comment. "Looking straight ahead"
I don't know what happened. I do know that there are two sides to the story. The T driver really got.....ticked off. In which made it sound really bad, but hey. I once was a driver. Back then you use to get tired with being able to get by with regulations. Back then! As for the person who stuck the hand out. Well, we still don't know the rest of the story. As Paul use to say.......
Hopeing someone will come up with it. Look at the time.

there is no defense in this. not only did the truck have to slam on it's brakes so did the following truck and cars. what if the truck jack knifed ? maybe taking out several cars and killing some people. with out this tape it would just go down as another trucker out of control kills family of 5 . the hwy was built for Commerce not joy riding. the second truck had plenty of power to pull the grade unlike the first truck.

Or he might be referring to my post. I also drove truck professionally for 18 years! Trash Trucks, Cement Trucks over 100K #'s, and even Brinks Trucks! Until Reagan "de-regulated" (but that's another story), But while I think the duece driver is contemptable for his action(s), I also do not know what drove him to those actions! The trucker(s) and the duece driver may have had reasons for what ever happened earlier that day but, we may never know!

But I don't believe that makes anyone less of anything for voicing an opinion! IMHO / YMMV / My Point Oh Two ? / yada yada yada

Guy was probably a CHECK WRITER poser of a hot rodder--has a BMW at his home
