Umm, yeah, I didn't realise it either. Thought the ute was on the wrong side for too long. Now it makes more sense.

Thats why I started the vid from the previous intersection where you could see it was a dual lane highway, Port Wakefiald Rd out near Two Wells and the cars on the correct side are also visable over to the right where the dufus in the silver car should have been.

The ute was doing nothing wrong

A friend of mine captured a young girl losing control of her car. She ended up crossing into oncoming traffic, off the road on the wrong side, back across the oncoming traffic again, nearly flipped over when she hit the embankment on the right side of the road and finally coming to a stop unharmed. She was very lucky not to have cleaned up, or been cleaned up by, other cars on the road. 100km zone and enough traffic to have potentially involved a few cars.

The clip went viral on facebook and was picked up by one of the tv channels to use in a story about the dangers of texting when driving. Not sure this girl was texting, but it did illustrate how quickly things can get out of hand.

the only thing interesting my dad caught on his camera is the deer he clobbered early one morning. Thankfully it was in his XF panel van and not the holden combo van he could of been driving

I see Port Wakefield Road has its own Wikipedia page.   Methinks some folk have waaaayyyy too much time on their hands.

I will ponder on this as I make my way to Coobowie.

Safe travels and watch out for people going the wrong way.  expect the unexpected

I have vague memories of a lady driving onto the wrong side of the SE Freeway and sadly crashing and losing her life.  Many years ago.   I seem to remember it was a Jaguar and she was returning from a party of some sort, having had too many sherries.

do you have a drivers licence?

I thought the same thing.

That was simply terrifying to watch. I wonder how much further he got driving on the wrong side like that?

This happens more often then we realize.

For every ones saftey I hope not much further brefore they realised and turned around or got on the correct side before hitting some unsuspecting person.

There was the big overhead RTA cameras about 1km further up so if still on the wrong side a huge fine coming I hope.

and yes it was a surpise as they appeared as the ute moved over, you can tell the ute driver was surprised as well because he started to move over and then hesitated, you cant see it on the video but he also braked and at first I thought **bleep** is he doing and then I saw the car coming at us and wondered what the idiot was going to do next.

you know, to all those people with a poor understanding

in a RL situation one would know youre on a flippin' double lane highway and be concerned and aware a car is travelling on the wrong side of the road

this is a thread on the internet (remember) with poorly described topic in the OP
