Adelaide: A driver was recently spotted cruising down an Aussie highway with his feet hanging out the window. Can you believe that? He was just chilling while driving at freeway speeds, which is super dangerous.
People who saw him were totally shocked. I mean, how can you even think that’s okay? It’s not just risky for him but for everyone else on the road too. The video of this guy went viral, and folks are really upset about it.
One woman said, “How can he brake in an emergency?” and another pointed out that he’d be a mess if he got into an accident. Many people think he should lose his license. It’s wild how some people just don’t get it.
In Australia, it’s actually illegal to have any part of your body outside the car while driving. Drivers can get hefty fines for that. Just recently, a woman got pulled over for having her arm out the window and was lucky to get off with just a warning.
In New South Wales, the fine for this kind of behavior is $337, plus you can lose demerit points. Other states have their own fines too, but it’s clear that this kind of thing isn’t taken lightly.
Back in 2012, a driver in Melbourne was also caught doing something similar, and the police were just as shocked. They called it “stupidity” and said it endangered lives. It’s a serious issue, and people really need to think twice before pulling stunts like this.
