Nice Lane Change
Close Merge
Near the I-215/I-15 interchange, the far-right lanes merge. This causes problems occasionally, when people don’t notice or merge over in time. Today that nearly caused a chain reaction crash.
The truck pulling the trailer noticed at the last moment that the lanes changed, flipped his blinker on, and started moving over. The startled chevy next to him jerked to the side; nearly colliding with the el camino.
Excellent Merge
Yet another brilliant move while merging from I-215 to I-15! An SUV was rather impatient to get over, having driven behind some slow cars for the past few minutes. He hopped over two lanes, and then when the drivers there proved no better, started merging again to the middle lane. The cars there began slowing down just as he did that, and so he hastily abandoned his attempt.
Almost Off the Road
The interchange from I-215 to I-15 has recently been modified to extend the amount of room that there are 3 lanes available. Unfortunately, the interchange still goes down to two lanes right before merging with I-15. This 3-to-2 lane merging has been problematic, and many cars in the left lane tend to wait until the very last minute to merge over once the left lane ends.
I was driving in the middle lane. The guy next to me decided that he was going to wait until the last possible minute to move over, and almost ran himself off of the road. When he finally cut over, it was without signal and he almost clipped the front of my car.
You can see the lines end between the middle and left lanes, and then he continues speeding up on my left side. It doesn’t look as close from the dashcam in the middle of my windshield, but it was a close thing.
Pick a Lane
Today was actually quite exciting as far as videos go; especially for a Utah holiday. I had been driving for several minutes on I-215 while returning from work, and was thinking that I probably wouldn’t have any videos from today. To my surprise, I got two in a matter of minutes!
A few minutes after thinking the above, while driving westbound on I-215, I was overtaken by a nice BMW. The semi next to me moved over, and then the BMW came flying through the gap. It was going probably 85. As I watched him speed off, he started drifting into the “exit-only” lane to get on I-15 sb. Then, as a semi moved over in front of him, he abruptly reversed course back into the second lane. He drove off without incident, but it could’ve been messy if there were more cars on the road.
