‘How much room to do you want f**wit?’: Truck driver’s expletive-laden rant as he drives down windy road before almost crashing into a horse trailer – so who do you think is in the wrong?
- Dashcam footage of a huge truck almost crashing into horse trailer has emerged
- Drivers engage in a heated war of words as they argue who was in the wrong
- In other instance, cars stream passed truck at bendy road and give him no room
- Footage was taken as truck traveled along the notorious Macquarie Pass in NSW
Heart-stopping video shows a truck driver’s near miss with a horse trailer on a notoriously narrow and bendy road on NSW’s south coast on Thursday.
The vision sees the truck travelling down Macqaurie Pass on the Illawarra Highway – already a difficult journey for a vehicle of that size.
The truck is seen having to manoeuvre around the windy road as multiple cars stream past him, allowing very little room for the truck to pass.
The footage was captured on the truck’s dashcam and uploaded to the Road Trains Australia Facebook page.
In one instance, the truck is seen attempting to turn at a narrow bend and the cars, which have begun to build up, squeeze past him with just inches of room between the truck and the surrounding cliffs.
The irate truckie beeps his horn and tells everyone to go through as one four-wheeled drive begins to back up.
Further down the road, a car carrying a silver horse trailer suddenly emerges and beeps his horn as it comes up to the truck.

The two vehicles beep at each other for some time before winding down their windows to yell obscenities at each other.
‘What are you blowing your f***in’ horn at?,’ the truckie yells.
‘What are you doing!!?,’ the other driver replies.
‘How much f***in’ room do you want mate?’
‘We drive up and down here all day – how much room do you want?.’
When the other driver says to look at the white lines, the truckie then draws attention to his horse cart, which is almost entirely in the middle of the road.
‘Look at the room you’ve got on the other side of your cart, you dip****.’

The two exchange heated words for some time, reversing and moving forward as they both try to pass each other.
The truck driver finally pulls away, yelling a final: ‘you don’t tell me what to do, you piece of s***’.
Macquarie Pass is an eight-kilometre long section of the Illawarra Highway passing through Macquarie Pass National Park.
The road is extremely steep and narrow and for a wide section of it, has no centre-line.
The pass is quite notorious for accidents due to its nature, and drivers and riders are required to be cautious.
