Near-Wreck Experience

Phone Drifting

The lady in front of me was drifting from side to side. As the freeway began curving to the right, she kept drifting left – nearly running into the car on her left.
As I drove by I noticed she was on her phone.

Red Truck Miss

The red truck that passes me at the beginning of the vid narrowly missed a collision in the intersection. He had his blinker on as if to turn right (though he wasn’t in the right turn lane), but then went through the intersection when the light went yellow – just as a car tried to turn left. The red truck ended up turning to the right suddenly to miss the other car and narrowly missed him.

Overburdened Van

While merging from I-215 to I-15 today, there was a minivan a few cars ahead of me with three large mattresses on top of it. The effect was rather comical. It also didn’t seem to know where it was going, as it got off the freeway in the wrong exit lane and narrowly missed clipping a few cars as it rushed to cross to the northbound exit instead of being trapped in the southbound lanes.

Stopped Strangely on Freeway

While driving to work this morning I came upon a car turned around on the freeway and pointing toward the direction of traffic with a pickup next to it. Neither was damaged as far as I could see, nor did there appear to be any damage or collision indications in the snow on the sides of the freeway. There were tire skid marks for the car, but the road wasn’t slick, so I’m not sure what the deal was.
After I passed them they both appeared to drive to the side of the freeway.

Merging without Looking

For the second time in as many commutes, someone attempted to merge into my lane without signal and would’ve hit me unless I honked at them. In today’s instance, it was an elderly lady who turned the corner apparently without noticing me, and then began moving over to make her turn. After my honk, she was somewhat frantically waving her arms; both in apology to me and then also seemed to be yelling at herself after I’d passed her.

Semi Merging

During the snowstorm today a semi next to me suddenly decided it was a good idea to merge into my lane with no kind of signal or warning. Luckily he stopped when I honked at him.

Unusual Exit

In front of me several cars there was suddenly a large puff of rubber smoke. This repeated again a few seconds later. An SUV ended up off the side of the road, but as I approached I couldn’t see any damage or broken tires, so the only conclusion I can come to is that the driver was near to missing her exit or had some kind of medical episode.

School Bus Swap

A school bus in front of me decided they were going to merge over a lane, but nearly ended up sideswiping the car next to it.

Truck vs Car

On the merger from I-215 to I-15 a car decided it was going to try and beat a truck just as the lanes merged. The truck ended up having to swerve out of the way as the car ran out of room and was forced over.
