Hi All,

Normally just lurk around ozbargain and always found the automotive section a good read.

Scenario:
Passed a white car in video that was stationary. Arrived at destination 300meters further and parked the car. Driver of white car stopped alongside our car told us off for bad driving.

I reviewed the video (https://1drv.ms/v/c/bf6fe969e835bfd7/ERWcfPJhVNhGsk_FUlfxcBQ…) and can't see anything wrong actions on our end.

Anyway, I don't want to further influence your opinion, so feel free to share your opinion.

    You didn't do anything wrong. Had someone yelled at me, I'd have yelled back 2 reasons;

    1// Unacceptable you got yelled at for doing nothing wrong.
    2// If you don't call them out for it, not only will they continue to do this, but it'll get worse.

    I thought you came around the bend a bit fast and probably should have slowed more before getting to the car with the door open - but that's if your wife was a good driver - in this case, a bit risky

    White car is wrong. Poll is dead for some reason.

    I'd have honked the (profanity) out of that truck driver for opening the door wide open into the road.

    Take it as a lesson to slow down. Could end up saving $$$ from accidents. Following you 300m to complain is a bit weird but definitely happens. Read another thread where the "rager" followed for close to 30mins.

    I'm not sure what they think you did wrong.

    I think you just surprised him and he wasn't expecting a car to come along , some people react angry if you frighten them , don't worry you did nothing wrong.

    Just like me yesterday parking in a shopping center carpark I parked my car as usual and as I was walking to the center an old man drives past and says to me " you should be ashamed of yourself " and I have absolutely no idea what he was referring too as far as I know I did nothing to upset him or anything wrong , some people are just very touchy and react in non logical ways.
