There was an old guy in a Silver Subaru almost doing the same thing to Hoffy on the F3 freeway on Sunday...

Hoffy quickly got the message across but....... come to think of it the horn got a good workout in the arvo too

That was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages

I can just see the used car ads... slight dent in bumper .. lol

Some of them must have copped it before by how quick they got out of the way

I can tell you now that any one of those vehicles that slow down in front of a military vehicle is suspected of containing an IED (Improvised Explosive Device).. one of our own AUSTLAVs was hit by one last week... with three casualties... one serious... the AUSTLAV was a wreck...I reckon they were being rather gentle considering the Yanks ahve been hit by dozens of these things ... a little bump and the car is out of the way... instead of blowing up and blocking the path of the rest of the convoy .. that would then create very easy targets indeed.... Spare a though for the guys driving and having that on their mind....

This maybe true, but a logistoics officer with any sense wouldn't send a convoy through peak hour. It's most likely a single patrol going somewhere, and not an emergency going by the lack af sirens and use of horm. I'd suggest it was a couple of young yanks abusing their power and making a video of it.

Listen again. Throughout the vid, the driver's leaning on the horn as he comes up to the backs of the cars he ends up bumping out of the way.

If someone living in a city where open warfare is taking place can get around in such a daze that they don't notice a 3m-wide, 3-tonne hulking truck-type thing, most likely with a fuck-off big machinegun sticking out on top, bearing down on them with its horn blaring, or if they're so stubbornly passive-aggressive that they do notice, but dedice that nah, why should they get out of the way, and the worst that happens to them is that they get nudged up the arse, they should probably consider themselves lucky.
