Smart Move
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.
Clearly Paying Attention
This morning I was driving in the middle-left lane, with an SUV on my right in the middle-right lane. We were both going about the same speed, and had been that way for the past several miles.
Ahead of us was a small car, and we were probably going a good 10-15 mph faster than him – we caught up to him in short order.
As we both quickly approached this small white car, he apparently decided that he needed to get over immediately, so he turned on his blinker and hopped right in front of the SUV next to me.
Had the SUV not immediately slammed on his brakes and hopped to the lane from whence the car came, he would’ve rammed it from behind.
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.
Weave Lane
The white SUV on the left side caught up quickly to the car in front of him. He elected to pass on the right, but after changing lanes, realized that there was an upcoming car in that lane going even slower. So he slammed on his brakes, hopped back over a couple lanes, and hit the gas.
