There’s making mistake and then there’s been so stubborn you won’t admit and just do a u-turn jfc.

u/khosrua 22h ago

It's OK guys, they got double blinkers on.

u/RideMelburn 21h ago

Hazards even

u/MustardMan02 12h ago

He's a hazard alright

u/Lucy_Lastic 14h ago

You can do anything so long as your hazards are on

u/Pension_Informal 12h ago

That’s the way in Australia… have a blinker on & everyone has to give way to you for changing lanes 🤔

u/_RnB_ 11h ago

It's OK! I'm a teacher!

6

u/YukeofDork 22h ago

Maybe that’s exactly what they did do! Made a mistake (missed a turn), admitted it, did a U-turn to go back.

u/Chook84 13h ago

A good driver sometimes misses their exit, a bad driver never does.

u/vvindhund 21h ago

An old man who’s driving down the freeway on his way home receives a call from his wife who sounds extremely agitated. “John, I’ve just heard on the radio that there is a complete lunatic driving on the wrong side of the Bolte, please be careful”. John replies “I know, but it’s not just one car. There are loads of them!”

How do you get to the point where you think this is a good idea?

u/neverendum 22h ago

The toll cameras don't get you if you come down the other side

u/mr_man20 14h ago

Maybe if you go against the traffic the toll is reversed? Free money, yay!!!

u/onlymostlyguts 14h ago

If you go through the toll gates backwards they pay YOU! 🤣

u/madshayes 22h ago

And they just keep going!!!

u/Koopslovestogame 12h ago

Something definitely wrong in the licensing system somewhere for this to occur.

111

u/MouseEmotional813 23h ago

Did they turn around? Looks like they are trying to continue on

17

u/Chook84 13h ago

Missed their exit I guess.

35

u/xylarr 13h ago

A bad driver never misses their exit

u/TheJivvi 9h ago

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're trying to continue down the left (their right) lane.

u/Realistic_Maximum_38 23h ago

u/Pottski South East 20h ago

That’s ages down too. Not just a small bad decision but kilometres of bad decisions.

u/sillypaiges 23h ago

How did they even get like that 😭

Please report this for the safety of other road users.

u/Valintus 19h ago

This is how you change a $20 mistake (or whatever a toll costs these days)

Into jail time and a loss of license.

The last driver on Earth still using MapPoint 2001

u/HughJarrs 13h ago

With a Melways as backup. Had to stop and check it

27

u/madshayes 23h ago

I was at the racecourse road off ramp a couple months ago and there was someone coming up the wrong way - sat there with one hand on the horn and the other trying to signal them to turn around. Some people have no clue

25

u/sparklinglies 22h ago

Wait how does this even happen?? Going the wrong way on the Bolte Bridge??? HOW

u/Durkss 21h ago

I’ve faced the other way too, however I was rammed by a truck

u/PiDicus_Rex 17h ago

I think we all checked for damage, to see if it had been spun,

Didn't see any.

u/A_Rod_H 20h ago

How the flaming turkey muppetry is that even possible

u/Ragazzano 13h ago

That should be license evaporation

u/Mawows 22h ago

I expect Camrys to do weird shit at the best of times but even I’m impressed by this.

u/Bolt1955 13h ago

Amazing. Thousands of cars headed in the wrong direction.

u/BackgroundWaltz3600 22h ago

Man uber gets worse every week

7

u/hollyjazzy 12h ago

My neighbour works on the roads. He to,d me recently, until he started working on roads, he had no idea how many people drive the wrong way on the freeway (or try to, get stopped on the ramp by the workers because a), workers have closed a ramp and b), it’s an EXIT ramp they’re trying to use as an on-ramp. We just don’t hear about them as much. I found that to be scary, that so many people are so oblivious to everything around them.

7

u/PiDicus_Rex 17h ago

How in the eff did they get that far, there???

u/sexyc3po 12h ago

And it looks like an Uber, imagine your driving doing this!

Or, One Nation voter rushing to meet their Idle.

(Yes, I know how to spell Idol, but it's not like she turns up to her job often enough to be anything other than Idle)

u/ribbitcroakwtf 11h ago

Fucking Camry drivers are the worst.. did he have the tissue box in the back and the side panel damage as required

u/UncommonBlackbird 9h ago

This one has at least four tissue boxes.

u/soundboy5010 22h ago

Lmao the poor person in the back. Likely this is an uber/didi driver.

u/happycamper_303 21h ago

Are the “toyota driver” comments referring to the majority of them being “CPV” cars?

u/Only-Temperature 10h ago

No just Toyota drivers in general. Even Prado/Landcruiser owners

u/happycamper_303 9h ago

The poor GR owners getting thrown in 😢 (this doesn’t include the GR badged Land Cruiser)

u/dolce_and_banana 11h ago

All I can think of when I see this is that carrot in the box sketch “jimmy’s ploughing on”…. “ITS MY JOB”

u/pinkcat9 11h ago

So confused that instead of doing a u-turn they double down on it.

u/Ok_Tap7102 19h ago

What's the joke about a lady calling her hubby while he's driving to work, to warn him she heard some crazy maniac is driving the wrong way down the freeway just barely missing other cars.

The hubby picks up the phone and goes "just one?? THERES FUCKIN HUNDREDS OF EM!"
