ffs, 5pm on a Monday and this wanker decides to play dodgems on the motorway. Glad they got him off the road before someone died.

but at least they did something. Usually they're too busy booking people for 3km over.

Mercedes swerving… probably on his phone or drunk. Wonder if it's another one of those 'medical event' excuses.

event my arse. He was filming a TikTok, guarantee it.

saw the cops blocking off the onramp at Greenlane, took forever to get home. Hope they throw the book at him.

Lol went straight into the after-hours appointment lane in the sky. Good on the cops for actually showing up for once.

Bet it's some tradie rushing home from a job. We all have bad days but that's next level.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-15T07:35:01.000Z

I'm a tradie and that's offensive. We drive utes not Mercs. Probably some accountant who just discovered merging.

yeah nah get stuffed. 'near misses'? More like the universe decided not to kill anyone today. Lucky bastard.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-15T07:46:01.000Z

lol cope, it's night time and you're still pissed off. Just be glad he didn't take anyone out.

Anyone else see the RNZ photo? Just a cop car behind a cordon — amazing journalism. Give me the dashcam footage.
