Gotta Get Over Now!
Mall Madness
With Christmas approaching, the entrances to the mall around the 106th S exit become rather hectic. Today was no exception. Some cars decided that waiting in line wasn’t good enough for them, attempting to merge late and essentially cut the line. Some pass the light on State Street and then flip around a few hundred yards thereafter.
This video has both.
Two Exit Misses
On the way back from work today, I drove past the I-215/I-80 interchange. At both the eastbound and westbound exits, two separate vehicles nearly missed their exits.
The first was a semi with a backhoe. The car behind him that properly made his exit had to slam on his breaks to let him in.
The other was an SUV that seemed to decide on the exit just in the nick of time.
Attentive Lane Changing
A brand new silver car was driving in front of me. As we came to the I-15/I-215 merge, the silver car tried to move over to the far right lane. However, during this time, an SUV merged from the right; occupying the same space that the silver car was trying to enter. Perhaps due to driving a new car, the silver car driver barely noticed the SUV in time.
Intelligent Lane Change
I was driving through the I-215/SR 201 interchange today when a car decided that the others merging with him were driving too slow. He hopped across two lanes to end up right in front of me – despite my being very close and coming up fast. He even had second thoughts about it and almost decided it was smarter not to hop in front of me (you can tell by how he hesitates).
Had I not braked quickly, I’d probably have rear-ended him.
Exit Lane Hop
While on my way to work this morning, I was in the far right lane. There was an SUV in the lane next to me. We were approaching the exit for the SLC airport, when he suddenly decided he had to get off there.
He immediately started changing lanes, and threw on his blinker about half way over. I was forced to slam on my brakes and swerve into the unoccupied exit-only lane to miss the back portion of his vehicle.
Almost Missed His Exit
While driving today, an SUV had been traveling in the far left lane when he suddenly realized that he needed to get off at the exit we were passing. So he hopped across two lanes and barely made the exit.
Hazardous Merging
A couple panel trucks were in the right lane where it merged near the California Ave exit on I-215. A car coming in from the onramp on the left was nearly hit by both trucks right in a row as they tried to move over when he was there. Both managed to catch themselves before a collision occurred, but there is some noticeable swerving.
