Fast and Furious: Mustang v AMG

xkxlxm · 15-08-2022, 10:10 AM

Yesterday afternoon, about 3:30, proceeding up Heidelberg Rd towards Ivanhoe (Darebin railway station to the left); there are two lanes each way. Suddenly there's a Mustang switching from the right lane to the inside lane to overtake the traffic in right lane, before parked car/s on the left force him to come back out. He must have been going flat out and probably did the lane switch at least twice. Traffic stops for red light at pedestrian crossing. I think the Mustang must have got through before it turned red. Pedestrian on left side footpath waiting to cross.

Green light. AMG comes from behind somewhere, doing the same as the Mustang. Mates? Road rage? Fork in the road a few hundred metres ahead, so did AMG find Mustang? I didn't see anything when I continued.

Could have been very ugly if the Mustang had been running the pedestrian red light with someone about to walk across.

Same thing happens all the time with twin cabs just in slow motion
