Police allege Tesla and Mercedes drivers got into a fight on the side of the road in the north of Canberra during a road rage incident.

ACT Policing said a silver Mercedes and a dark-coloured Tesla were involved in a collision in the eastbound lanes of Horse Park Drive at Kenny at around 9 am on Tuesday (17 September).

“The drivers exited the vehicles and had an altercation on the side of the road,” a police spokesperson alleged.

“The driver of the Tesla failed to exchange details with the other driver and left the scene before police arrived.”

The alleged fight took place on Horse Park Drive near the Federal Highway overpass.

in all honesty, even before reading the article, I had the Tesla driver pegged as the flog in all this, and I’m not surprised in the least that I was right.
And before anyone goes accusing me of having super powers or something, I merely arrived at this conclusion using a simple trick: namely, foreknowledge of how Tesla drivers are likely to be more stupid and vain, seeing themselves as saviours in a crisis that doesn’t exist.

More dollars than cents is what they’d have said about these people when I was kid
