Eternity’s tail from a broken down car

Edited by: Giorgos Pallikaris

On the two-lane Melbourne motorway, there is a lot of traffic, but both the left and right lanes have a normal flow of cars. Let’s remember that drivers in Australia drive from the opposite direction of the road.

However, on the far left of the road, where there is an exit a few kilometers away and the lane is the LEA opposite, there is a large line of cars wanting to get off the highway. More than 70 cars have been stopped because they believe the traffic jam is the reason for their stalemate.
But the car with the camera is fast forward, and as it turns out, the cause of the queue is not a traffic jam, but a car that “left” a few meters ahead of it, on the LEA.

Who is to blame? The driver with the broken car who didn’t triangle, or the other drivers who exited the LEA, long before the dotted lines were slow to exit?
