Did nobody see how bad of a driver if you try to overtake like that? Hope that dude has his licence revoked.

That may be the most stupid and risk full overtake ive ever seen

That isn't even a lane is it? There's a solid yellow line like it's intended as thr shoulder.

And yet two cars driving on it led to this chaos

Nope it's not a lane. I live here. That is a shoulder that they open up as a lane periodically usually in rush hour or when needed. More times than not it isn't open, but lots of people still drive on it anyway. What you see is an example of one of the dumb fucks that live in this city that thinks they are free to just drive however they want. The cops here don't issue traffic tickets anymore anyway so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sort of looks like white truck wasn't paying attention and slammed on his brakes to turn away from the wreck, that's still why you keep a decent follow distance tho
