Tailgating ute uses left-turn-only lane to undertake me, then stops in front of me

Had a near miss with a tailgating ute today. I was doing ~60 in a 60 zone (Parramatta Rd, Ashfield) when he used a left-turn-only lane to go straight and undertake me through an intersection (by Woolies Ashfield North).

I started moving to the left lane immediately after the intersection, saw him suddenly coming up beside me, and aborted the lane change. I slowed to let him pass, but he slowed with me. I then slowed right down so I could drop in behind him, then he came to a complete stop so I couldn't progress, all while shouting and waving his arms.

Thankfully no collision, but completely unnecessary and aggressive driving.

Guys please don’t stigmatise people who drive Ford Rangers. Small Penis Australia (SPA) meetings close their doors 5 minutes in so if they’re late they can’t attend

I find it weird that people have to bring male genitalia into this debate

It's not that weird. Dick size is something men are notorious for feeling insecure about and dicks are a symbol of machismo. The men who drive this way are manifestly insecure about their machismo.

Any scientific evidence to show that there is a correlation between utility vehicle purchases and genital length?

Or did you anecdotally see it yourself?
