I see idiots do this every day, too impatient to wit behind slower traffic for their exit or not paying attention to where they are and cut across three or for lanes of traffic and put countless others at risk.

I spent 5 years in EMS.
That was impressive.

Where did the dash cam come from? Was a cop following this driver?

There is ALWAYS another exit just ahead. YOu can turn around and comeback alot safer than trying to make a “missed” exit.

It's obviously yet another truck that got a second shot at her.
Semi-conscious = an awareness of large trucks....

Same here (125 mile round trip commute), but I don’t see all that much traffic. One thing here in central KY that surprises me is people really don’t use their turn signals much to change lanes. Also (and one of the reasons I love it here) our yeild signs look exactly like stop signs.

Amazing how the concept of just going to the next exit escapes so many drivers. It’s a pet peeve of mine. Idiotic. Needless. Dangerous. Stupid.
To: lowbridge
I recently saw a guy in one of those little cars do the same thing, he went around me in the slow lane only to find a 50 ton crane going 10 miles an hour uphill,needless to say his car was completely squished like an accordion. I was going 70 he must of been doing 85

Wow...as if the initial crash isn’t bad enough (probably dead right then), the truck with the camera runs OVER the car. The camera even bounces a final time as the rear trailer wheels run over what’s left.

I’ve seen some spectacular accidents with cars flying and spinning through the air, but I don’t think anyone was seriously hurt. There’s nothing more important or rewarding than patience on the roads. Saving ten seconds on your commute isn’t worth the risk.

Not using indicators is an everywhere thing. Here in the land of Ma$$holes the big things are passing at high speed in the right hand lane and tailgating. The newest brain-dead stunt to hit the streets is driving 100+mph during rush hour.

The Focus must be a pretty safe car.
