When exacting your so-called “revenge” overtake does not go as planned.
Tesla Model Y owner Brent Harris shared dashcam footage from Phoenix, Arizona to a Model Y owner’s Facebook group showing a Nissan Frontier driver, upset that he was abruptly overtaken after cutting Harris off, attempt to cut in front of Harris, again, which only ended in a collision.
Harris’s post is linked here with his video embedded below.
The accident happened at the intersection of W. Bell Road and 23rd Ave. in Phoenix, AZ (exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As Harris’s recording of his dashcam video shows, he was travelling along W. Bell Road when a driver in a Nissan Frontier lazily changed lane in front of him.
Harris was going at a decent speed and, instead of braking and slowing down, he decided to quickly change lane, speed past the Frontier, and changed lane again in front of the Frontier driver.
No harm, no foul. Or so you’d think.
The Frontier driver clearly took umbrage at Harris’s maneuver and sped up, changed lane, and tried to change lane in front of Harris again.
The Frontier did not give himself any room to brake because, although he cut Harris off, he also ended up slamming into the back of a stopped car waiting at the intersection.
There were comments on Harris’s post that his hands weren’t so clean in this situation, either, as he cut that Frontier driver off, too.
However, it’s worth pointing out, as evidenced by his side dash cam views, that he overtook the Frontier with plenty of space between them both.
Harris didn’t cut him off (if any) as bad as that Frontier’s slow lane change did.
Regardless, that Frontier driver’s got a large insurance headache on his hand heading into the 4th of July holiday.
That could’ve all been avoided if he checked his ego at the door.
