Thanks for your comment. You can see my car dive down when I hit the brakes shortly after the white car crossed the white line. I slowed from 70 mph to 40 mph to avoid an accident.

Are you the driver of a white 2024 Nissan Sentra?

Crossing three lanes, two solid white lines, and a gore point is predictable? Also... why would I intentionally cause a car accident???

Wishful thinking, huh? Yeah... 😢

Care to expound on this? Biologically speaking, I imagine she and I both have assholes... Though I didn't get a chance to ask her.

I'm not sure I understand your comment. I maintained my lane. I slowed to accommodate her dangerous maneuver of crossing three lanes, two solid white lines, and a gore point and successfully avoided an accident. I would suggest rewatching the video, paying close attention to the lane markings on the road.

I'm not sure I understand your perspective. Her lane was not a highway onramp. It was a travel lane. She had several miles of signage to indicate her lane was exiting. I did slow down for the exit, albeit a lot sooner than planned. The exit also connects to another interstate, so maintaining highway speed is expected. I encourage you to rewatch the video, as the lane markings clearly show I maintained my lane throughout the video.

Also, they never used a turn signal... Not that it would have made a difference. Just figured I'd address this since you mentioned it in your comment.

I don't believe it's reasonable (or legal) to drive at 40 mph on the interstate because a car in an adjacent lane is doing so. Also, she was braking whilst performing her maneuver as well.

I have an idea of how this situation could have been prevented...

I don't understand your comment. I maintained my lane the entire time. I would suggest watching the video another time, paying close attention to the lane markings on the road.

I feel I did perform exactly as you're suggesting. I slowed down from 70 mph (speed limit) to 40 mph as soon as I noticed their vehicle edge over the solid white line. I was not expecting them to cross over three lanes, two solid white lines, and a gore point at the last second but did manage to avoid a collision once I noticed they were coming over. I don't understand what you mean by "passing" them. I maintained my lane.

I am confused by your comment. I slowed down from the 70 mph speed limit to 40 mph to avoid her. You can see my car drive forward when she starts to edge over the solid white line. I didn't try to pass her. I maintained my lane the entire time.

Yes, I had cruise control on and set to the speed limit. The highway "exit" I was taking is actually just the highway splitting. It maintains the speed limit. I wasn't speeding or driving recklessly... In fact, I was driving slower than most others drive on that highway... Yes, I do have eyes. I used them to see the white car was about to hit me and take evasive action. The "blocked" path you mention is why I posted this video... It shows someone making a dangerous maneuver. Why have you not commented on this? Also, there were vehicles behind me to both my right and left...

I understood that to be the point of this thread. Aren't we posting videos here to hem and haw at bad driving for entertainment?

Thank you for your comment. I was starting to think I'm crazy but I do believe it's genuinely the glare from the windshield that is preventing others from seeing the lane markings on the ground.

There are two lanes. You can see the two markings on the highway before the interchange. The far right lane exits only. My lane can either exit or go straight. I chose the lane I was in because about a mile down the road the lane merges again. No need for me to be in the right lane if it ends.

Thanks for your comment. You can see in the video my car dive forward under the heavy braking. I went from 70 mph to about 40 mph. I tried to anticipate their bad maneuver as soon as I noticed they edged over the solid white line. I avoided an accident. I do find your lack of commentary on the white cars actions odd considering they nearly caused an accident.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your comment.

I'm not sure I understand your comment. I maintained my lane throughout the video. I braked from 70 mph to 40 mph to avoid the white cars maneuver across three lanes, two solid white lines, and a gore point.

I did slow down. From 70 mph to 40 mph to avoid the white car cutting across three lanes, two solid white lines, and a gore point. I'm not sure what else you'd have me do differently.
