Hume Highway road rage: Terrifying moment Audi driver brutally sideswipes a motorcyclist in Casula
An irate motorist brutally sideswiped a motorcyclist in heavy traffic.
The incident took place on the Hume Highway near Casula in Sydney’s south-west, with a motorcycle and a silver Audi seen moving back and forth between lanes just before the collision.
Terrifying dashcam footage posted on Sunday shows the car rear-ending the right lane before accelerating and swerving into the motorcycle, sending the rider careening across four lanes before crashing into a barrier.
The rider is seen lying on the emergency lane as cars stopped and people ran to his aid
Miraculously, the driver was not hit by another vehicle because he lost control.
The footage continued with the rider lying on the emergency lane as cars stopped and people ran to his aid.
The car that hit him did not stop.
The original poster of the video stated that they had given the disturbing images to the police.
One commenter wrote that ‘The Audi (driver) should be charged with attempted murder.
“But… you have to recognize that f***wit drivers should be avoided and not speeded.”
Others also resorted to swearing to describe what they had just seen.
“Wow what the heck,” one wrote. “How lucky he was that he slid across three lanes of traffic without anyone hitting him.”
“That’s f*****,” wrote another. “Old friend just earned a prison sentence for pulling that shit with so many witnesses.”
Another agreed that the motorist should face serious charges, saying: “That’s one way to commit attempted vehicular manslaughter. I hope they like 24/7 bars.”

There was also some advice for motorcyclists who find themselves in a similar situation.
‘To all the other riders here. If any of you find yourself in a situation like this where a car has decided to use its vehicle as a weapon. Don’t just sit there like this guy.
“Break the damn law – open the throttle for a few seconds and split up a few cars to put some distance between you and the lunatic.
“A risk you can control is infinitely better than playing the role of an out-of-control madman.”
