Canberra 4WD cutoff

7 years ago in Canberra, Australia

Look from the 28-30sec mark (the last 2 seconds).
There is roadwork on the Cotter Road bridge over the Tuggeranong Parkway to install an on-road cycle lane. Due to the construction works, cyclists must merge with traffic for 100m where it is a 2-lane, uphill section. Cars cannot safely pass a cyclist so must change lanes or wait. Most cars wait and change lanes, but a 4WD in lane 2 held up by merging cars from lane 1 performs a "Retaliation Pass". Measurable spots on the road determine the location of the 4WD and enable a calculation of the passing distance of less than 63cm.
