Perfectly executed maneuver... what's all the fuss about?

Yeah - that looks like they've done that before.

Not their first time, I suspect.

100% a local.

Was thinking the same: Someone who lives right down that road, and one day got tired of taking the long way around. Now this is his/her routine.

But there’s a driveway right before it

u/VolunteerVigilante Jan 07 '23

Holy shit i know where this is, just up the road from me

u/ChillBetty Jan 07 '23

Wondering in another thread if that road is 80 or 100kph

11

u/velofille Jan 08 '23

its 100km road , the driveway turn off is just before he does that, so guessing he missed that and panic.
This does look sped up a bit though - google maps 1683B Tirau Road, Karapiro, NZ

Oh, so wild!!

u/ChillBetty Jan 07 '23

The really scary thing in this clip is that intersection on a likely 100kph stretch of road.

Reason for my opinion? I live in this country (New Zealand)

u/Jay_from_NuZiland Jan 07 '23

Yeah I recognised the road sign styling before I noticed OP's username. Agreed this is likely a 100 zone, at very best it's an 80 zone.

Here it is: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uhtCZHu36VDR2GQWA?g_st=ic

Given there is a passing lane along this road it is very likely to be 100kph.

u/ChillBetty Jan 07 '23

Same re sign styling :) Didn't spot username; but of a giveaway.

God, one wrong move and bammo at that intersection. That ute is ITCHING to pull out.

u/gdogg121 Jan 08 '23

Where is the passing lane? I saw a single lane the entire time.
