Kudos to the driver for having cat-like reflexes.

Just try to think of it as a ... mobil chicane ... with a radius decreasing somewhat faster than average ... that's trying to kill you sort of.

Was that a spin out or an ill advised U-turn for that first car? Either way, I would not have the balls to do what the driver did. I would have dodged right and tried to squeeze behind him and subsequently crushed the car.

I would've plowed into the guy. My accident avoidance policy needs to change. Every time someone pulls out in front of me I think, "Oh, so you wanna get in a wreck today?" and just keep driving.

Looks too "controlled" to be a spin out. But on the other hand, nobody would be that stupid.

Even if the guy was stupid enough to try a sudden U turn on a damn highway, there was a truck coming the other way. Must be a very weird spin out.

Is it just me or is that truck going the opposite way on the left side of the road too?

I've had this thought many times too. The fact that my cars are worth a lot more to me than the KBB value usually stops me, though...

Oh yeah, nice reflexes, but I'm not giving him a kudos. Going left was moronically stupid.

A) Car you're trying to avoid seems to be going that way.

B) Hello oncoming truck! Much, much more survivable to plow the other guy's door/rear corner than to meet Mr. Mack (or whatever it is) head on. Even hitting the trees on the right is preferable to the truck. Never, never, never avoid into oncoming traffic.

I drive a (slightly) lifted truck with a very large plate steel front bumper and approximately fuck you, sun LED's in a lightbar on the roof.

Strangely, I've never had people pull out in front of me.

Happens a lot more when you drive a little old Civic.

I drive a truck of similar variety, actually had some lady pull out in front of me (she was naturally on her phone). At the next light I asked her if she had a fucking death wish.

People used to pull out in front of me all the time. They'd merge into my lane, effectively occupying the space I was in. My SPG has been run off the road more times than I can count.

That all stopped when I started driving the Dakota. Now people notice I'm alive (exhaust helps lol), are courteous and aware of my space. I get more waves when I let people in, and people are more apt to let me in when I put my signals on. The difference between driving a truck and a car are monumental. This automotive discrimination needs to stop

SPG?

Subaru Performance Grandmother?

Could this video be 'sped up' from it's original speed?

Something similar happened to me when I first got my Focus. My friend and I were driving, guy pulls off a cross road into my lane to make a left, aborts when he sees me so I swerve into the oncoming lane to avoid him. This particular point of the road is a blind hill so when I swerved into the oncoming lane I nearly hit a car coming my way. Scary shit, I think about it every time I drive that way.

Saab 900 SPG. Nobody knows for sure what SPG stands for, but it's what the Aero was called in the US because of some licensing issue between Saab and GM back in the 80s.

Not just you, I can't tell which way it's facing.

I'd say dodging right would have been a better move than the way he did it. Looks like there was space, and the truck wouldnt have been an issue.

That happened to me 5 years ago but the outcome was different.

Some asshole kid in a VW bug decided he needed to make an emergency u-turn in the middle of an uphill road. He signaled to the right and yanked the wheel to the left going on the middle lane and me on the left lane just a few feet behind him.

There was a big truck coming down on the other direction so I stomped on the brakes and tried to swerve, but didn't have much space between the bug and the truck so I T-boned him hitting hard between the front wheel and the driver's door (the only strong point of that car I think), the bug spun and hit me back on the rear quart making me spin and stop in the middle of the other side of the road. engine killed, steering dead too, so I yanked the seatbelt after the airbag deflated enough to allow me to move and ran out of the car and jumped the guardrail.

Neither the guy or his girlfriend were wearing seatbelts and they ricocheted in the inside of the car, she went into shock and had to be taken to a hospital in an ambulance, the guy just had a bruise in his arm. I burnt both my hands when the airbag deflated and hit my head really bad with the doorframe and we both got taken in custody because neither of us would admit fault on the accident.

Eventually his lawyer told him to admit the fault and we got release and I was taken to a hospital 6 hours later. His insurance paid after a few weeks and my car was in the dealer for 4 months due to a lot of pieces being on backorder (when this happened there were only 20 or so GTIs sold in the whole country), and they finally built a wall to separate uphill and downhill lanes after another crash where 2 people died.

I tried to reduce the milliseconds between frames, but I don't think it worked.

I agree. At my old summer job I drove a F-350 and it was like the rules of the road didn't apply to me. People on country roads going the other direction would stop in their tracks when they saw me coming, turning on my signal in traffic always meant a spot in the lane over and people going slow in the left lane got the fuck over when I was coming. It was a good time to say the least, but it would be nice to get that kind of respect in a car.

I meant to ask if this video had been sped up already. Perhaps it happened at 1/2 the speed and someone sped it up to make it look more dangerous. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries sir.
