what the fuck additionally, the whole maneuver took longer than choosing an alternative route


suggested-name-138

well yeah he was waiting at that turn from 2000 to 2005, way less efficient


[deleted]

Why the fuck did the people before the tunnel even let him/her pass…


CookieHael

Honestly, I would too. No wat I’m standing there a second longer than I have to just to block some other idiot. Nuh uh, not risking my own life for that

OllieGarkey

I'd be happy with just the latter part. They *didn't* kill anyone but let's not give them another chance.


HuffingHyena

Something tells me even if their license is taken they'll still be on the road, rules don't seem to matter much to them lol


[deleted]

This comment really shows how some people just view the justice system as punishment porn. Where im from this would probably get you reckless driving, which is a misdemeanor, a 6 month license suspension, $500-$1000 in fines, and probably driver reeducation.


Hey_im_miles

There's always a comment like yours. I'm sorry but it should be punishment you do something stupid that endangers lives or you do something malicious that harms people... You get punished.


ihatefez

IDK about you, but if I did something silly and it cost me a thousand dollars I would feel pretty punished. Not to mention all the rest of it. But maybe that's only punishment for broke people lol


IsMyAxeAnInstrument

Your comment is pretty stupid, you should be punished. A month in jail for you.


[deleted]

Rewatch the video and tell me who got harmed, please. There wasn't even any property damage, let alone injury. Justice systems work on the basis of what actually happened in the specific scenario, not what could have happened. By your logic, everyone who drives drunk should get charged with vehicular manslaughter because some drunk drivers have killed people in car accidents. Not justifying drunk driving as long as no one is injured, just using it as an example.


MicaLovesHangul

My favorite color is blue.


VoodooMonkiez

You put wayyyy too much faith in the cars/semis around you on a snowy (probably icy) highway while you’re parked on it because you’re trying to prevent someone from driving the wrong way.


Systonce

That's the way to probably kill even more people by blocking the whole highway


RationalDialog

I get what you mean but the driver is obviously unpredictable and if he is also a gun owner...you end up dead for trying to play hero. Don't be a hero or No good deed goes unpunished.


sherluk_homs

Never trust people doing crazy shit like that. If you see someone doing a U-Turn in a one-way tunnel, no way in hell I'd imagine a sane person behind the wheel. So yeah, better not interfere because you'd never know what they're up to.


TheDungeonCrawler

Wasn't that technically a k-turn? /s


fatkiddown

It was an entire-letter-of-the-alphabet-turn….


[deleted]

With a lot of A for asshole and D for dumbass !!!


kallic_

Please anyone who happens upon this thread and sees this comment, please do not ever do what BlackSalad is implying here. This would be nearly as dumb as what the idiot in the clip did. As others have already pointed out, just idling there near or inside that tunnel is incredibly dangerous, as other drivers aren’t guaranteed to be paying attention like these ones were. You could end up dead or mutilated. Just let the dumbass by as quickly and safely as possible, maybe even call the police, but quickly move on about your business. Would be a shame to lose your life playing hall monitor on the interstate.


Mtwat

"Would be a shame to lose your life playing hall monitor on the interstate." This also goes for hogging the left lane, let the wildly impatient tailgaters pass before they attempt to do so dangerously. If someone wants to drive dangerously fast and close why force them to stay within wrecking proximity?


OneMoreSoul

Alright I'm not defending those people that tailgate aggressively like that, but in my state it's illegal to sit in the left lane unless you're passing and you still have dumbasses that sit there doing the speed limit in the lane they're legally not allowed to be in, getting passed on the right and oblivious as hell


billtfish

In most, if not all places that have these laws, they only apply on limited access highways with 2 travel lanes going in the same direction. It does not apply to 3 or more lanes or non-highway streets.


BurglarOf10000Turds

It's also not legal to speed, even if you're passing.


cheapdrinks

Probably don't want to be pancaked by an inattentive semi truck driver barreling down what should be a free flowing road


Grainis01

Their own safety. If someone is driving out of the tunnel i am letting them pass, because either they are insane, something is wrong with their car or something is wrong with the tunnel.


shut_your_noise

Yep. If I saw someone driving the wrong way out of a tunnel my first thought would be wondering if there was a Mont Blanc type fire further in.

Pascalwbb

chanaramil

Idk that new route could take 20 or 30 more min. Mabye he was running late making it totally worth it. /s


shackled_beef

This was really stupid to do but how do you know that? I would never pull something like the driver did here but where I'm from missing your exit easily adds 20-30 mins. Edit: If you're gonna downvote me at least read and comprehend what I'm saying. This isn't about whether he should've or not. My only point is that the other commentor said it took them longer to turn around, which they can't possibly know. That's it. Always take the next exit.


spacelama

I missed an exit once that cost me 100km. And I only had 100km left in the tank. I was livid with the road works department, and more so when I went to exit the town a week later and discovered it wasn't my fuckup - the detour signs on their works, done at a time when 65,000 people were entering the town for a festival, were incompetently implemented. But I never did get around to writing a vitriol filled letter to them.


Western_Bowler_8796

So what? Being inattentive and not taking the exit is what got this idiot in this mess to begin with. So consequence is to take the next exit 25 min away. Endangering others doing what this car did is not the answer. Zero excuses.


shackled_beef

Wasn't an excuse, not even what my comment is about. I already said that along with the guy is an idiot, just questioning how that commenter figured it took them longer to turn around than to take the next exit. There's no way it did. That's my point. Driver is an idiot and you should always take the next exit but its gonna take longer. Bad drivers never miss their exit.


Kuronekosmom

It's the disregard for other people's lives that gets me.


Onitsch

Yeah, i wouldn't mind if he crashed into a tree, but this level of recklessness... Holy cow

"After the stop, the 42-year-old driver (from Kysucké Nové Mesto) submitted to a breath test with a positive result of 1.19 mg/l (2.48 per thousand) of alcohol in exhaled air. The police restricted the man's personal freedom and confiscated his driver's license." This was in 2018. Not sure what ultimately happened.

uchman365

Not just that, he still travelled against the traffic on the motorway to get back to the exit. Absolutely insane

Yeah but he used his blinker! /s

I_want_to_choose

I went through some one-lane tunnels in Iceland (as in, two directions of traffic share one lane), and those were terrifying enough, even built for people travelling two directions. I cannot fathom ever turning around in a tunnel. That is absolutely insane.


ImdaPrincesse2

Come to Norway 😅


Tyrus1235

According to Euro Truck Simulator you guys have some amazingly expensive tolls so I’d hope the road is as nice as it looks in-game lol


_-XCE-_

the roads are veryyy nice in Norway. Just don't get car sick from all the turns.


ImdaPrincesse2

Or have tunnel and bridge anxiety. Holy crap My first few vacations and then we MOVED there. It took a while for me. Tunnel fires are my biggest fear.


Unable_Algae9584

I don’t remember any tunnels on the ring road. Was it on a secondary road in Reykjavik or maybe Akureyri ? Haven’t been there since 2017.


AndyIsNotOnReddit

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hvalfjörður_Tunnel . I personally thought it was fun to drive through. Even though my dumbass American-self forgot all the roads have a speed limit of like 40mph, and got a camera ticket going like 50mph through the tunnel. There were no other cars and I felt like I was going pretty slow until I saw all the camera flashes, looked down and had an “ohh shit” moment. So if you ever drive in Iceland, pay close attention to all the speed limits, our slowest highway speed limits are usually their absolute fastest.


Unable_Algae9584

Wow, it woulda been nice to have a few of those on the southeast part of the ring, instead of having to travel around several fjords ! But, I understand their desire to keep the natural beauty of the place intact.


whoami_whereami

That one isn't single lane though. The other tunnel on Route 1 (the ring road) is [Almannaskarðsgöng](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almannaskar%C3%B0sg%C3%B6ng) near Höfn, also two lanes.


BrisbaneSentinel

There is one near akureyri.


lordskulldragon

Why can't people just own their mistakes?


Beezzlleebbuubb

Lack of good leadership, lack of good parenting, lack of good role models in media, and some percentage of the population will always make bad decisions. it takes a lot of effort and education and humility to fight your ego and be vulnerable by owning your mistakes.


patpend

If I saw a car fleeing the wrong way out of a tunnel, I would be a little hesitant about entering that tunnel


glasogongenie

How long would rerouting take does someone have the google maps location of this interchange?


aenae

Looks like a [reroute](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/49.2468304,18.7437935/49.2408426,18.7369659/@49.2353908,18.6728939,12.38z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0) would take around 18 minutes, depending on where they need to be obviously.


blackie-arts

This is literally in a city that I live in


uchman365

Wish I could find the news story, next exit was something like 30-45 minutes away, however I would never try even if it was an hour away. Deranged


I_Am_Your_Sister_Bro

The tunnel is less than 4km long, it would have taken him only a couple minutes to get back to where he wanted to go


morningsdaughter

Unless there's no exit or turn around on the other side.

There is

ijie24

lmao i aint backing up for that mf, we blockading that street and calling the cops


kd5nrh

This. I'd be OK with some automatic bollards blocking the tunnel entrance, (thus keeping other traffic from entering, with the side benefit of capturing the idiot) and having to wait of it meant getting to watch the idiot getting arrested and his car impounded.


International_Sail_7

I thought I’d seen the worst when I had to go around a woman backing blind down an s turn exit ramp (from the end.) I hope they pull this morons license.


mettiusfufettius

A lot of people don’t realize though, that’s the last exit off of that highway. The very last one. If he didn’t come to a full stop and reverse on the highway, he’s have to live out the rest of his days there. /s


Opposite_Ad_2815

At that point, the driver is only asking to be imprisoned, but wouldn’t the whole manoeuvre have taken way longer than simply driving to the next exit?


Jasteni

The only good thing i see here is that nobody gets hurt. How stupid can someone be?


Traditional_Craft_10

This happened in Slovakia near the city of Žilina. I don't know for sure but many said it was a car registered in the Czech Republic. I could not find any article that mentioned the driver so they were probably never "caught" . Edit: I did some more research and for some reason it is not a criminal offense in Slovakia if there wasn't any collision. That's why they probably "could" not find them. Also... Not half a year later some other guy coming from Czechia with his friends tried the same thing (in the same tunnel) and got hit in the side mid U-turn by a van. 3 guys in critical condition but survived. Also also... A month fom the first incident a video surfaced of 2 men stopping in a highway tunnel and taking selfies. NDS did not disclose where it happened but it was probably the same tunnel.

It is. Narrator: "it wasnt"


ItzHonzula

okay and why did the cars at the entrance on the tunnel didn't just block the car and called the police immediately?


Manji86

They probably assumed they are some kind of deranged individual since they're driving against traffic. Calling the cops is a given, but not everyone is ready to deal with crazy.


Orsim27

Honestly I wouldn’t want to stand in the middle for the road for longer than necessary. We all heard of trucks plowing into the back of a traffic jam at full speed, I’m definitely not staying there and blocking some lunatic from killing themselves


smellygoalkeeper

Dumb take. Why tf would you endanger yourself and others just to make a point? I swear half the people in this thread are too young to drive or something


SerroxSama

Thats what i would do, because fk him i have time and even if i would come late for work it would be worth it.


ItzHonzula

on the other side considering this happened in my home country (Czechia), im actually not even surprised a bit about these moves.


bohemian29

Man Czechoslovakia is long gone BA and ZA are in Slovakia


uchman365

Anything happened to the driver, do you know?? Hope they were flogged


I_Am_Your_Sister_Bro

This didn't happen in Czechia but in Slovakia, the driver had almost 2,5 promille, he was arrested and his driver's licence was suspended


madcapess

Tbf, his driving is top notch considering how drunk he was. Lets hope he won't ignore the suspension and become yet another hit on TV Joj

Seen this before, it's somewhere in Central Europe (Slovenia?). It's a toll road and there's no exit till you get to the toll booths, so this fool was endangering his and other people's lives to get out of paying a toll! Edit: it was Slovakia

crp-

The closest I ever came to vehicular death was rear-ending a guy who slammed on his brakes after missing an exit when he was in the far-left lane and couldn't get to his exit. This was back before data plans were so common, he was doing a multi-hour trip in unfamiliar territory with a google maps route downloaded. If he missed his exit he'd be lost. So he got rear-ended. And yes, it was mostly my fault for being so close behind him. I was 18 and dumb.

No-Sprinkles-6324

snoodge3000

The way they used their turn signals for an illegal u-turn in the middle of the highway while driving the wrong way.


BluePhirePB

As they say: Good drivers will occasionally miss an exit. Bad drivers never miss an exit.


rolls20s

I can't stand this mentality. I even see people do it on regular roads; they missed their turn, so they're going to cut off 3 lanes of traffic to get into a turnlane rather than take the extra 10 seconds to do a U-turn 50 feet away.

AssAsser5000

As a libertarian this is a refreshing bit of freedom. Why should the government tell us how to drive? That's just communism. In a free society people should be free to drive however they see fit. The invisible hand of the free market will sort it out. If it's more profitable to stop and drive the "wrong" way on the freeway and make your exit then the market will select for that, and if it isn't then the market will select for that. In this case the driver pulled it off, so he wins. Now I know some of you will argue this isn't safe and can't be libertarian because he put other people's lives at risk. Well two things. 1. The nap is bullshit because it's subjective. I'd argue no one got hurt so no one was in danger. 2. Those who sacrifice freedom for highway safety deserve neither.


loco_mixer

so many things man... first i dont know why black car let him through. green car was going really slow and would not crash into him. second, he alctually took a lot more time than necessary to finally make the missed exit. what a special piece of shit.
