Having a big and robust 4X4 SUV is always a boon, especially if you plan to create your own path. That being said, a Toyota Fortuner owner tried creating his own path to escape the traffic. However, his plans miserably failed when he misjudged a few parameters.
In the video, a Toyota Fortuner SUV can be seen attempting to cross into the opposite lane by driving over the median strip. Though a relatively easy task for any 4X4 SUV, the owner of this particular Fortuner SUV made a crucial error while doing so.
This error left the Toyota Fortuner owner completely stranded as the SUV got beached on the median strip. Since the SUV cannot move forward, the owner of the vehicle can be seen asking fellow commuters to not come forward while he attempts to reverse his SUV.
Diving into details, the owner of the Fortuner SUV misjudged the width of the median strip, which resulted in the SUV getting stuck on the median. To make matters worse, the SUV was equipped with fixed footrests, which further hampered the ground clearance.
However, this situation could have been easily avoided if the owner of the SUV managed to place the rear wheel on the median before placing the front wheel on the other side of the median.
That being said, crossing a median in such a manner is illegal and can be charged under various sections of traffic violations. Also, such activities can cause more inconvenience to other road users as well.
Thoughts: The Toyota Fortuner owner in the video seems to have not only committed a traffic violation but also affected the flow of the traffic. Also, we urge DriveSpark readers not to attempt any such activities on public roads.
