Two days ago I'm doing my morning drive and a bit heavy on the pedal as usual.
The street is a three lane and I usually keep to the 1st lane since it tends to have many less cars, so it's easier to pass everyone.
So I'm driving in the 1st lane, when the car in front of me makes a turn right and leaves a wide gap open between my car and the next car up ahead. A big van in the 2nd lane decides not to check his mirror and attempts to change lanes, but the problem is that I'm completely parallel to him.
To make matters worst I had a tailgater right behind; g37. (god damn G37's & Benz's always want to play with me). As soon as I saw the van heading right into me I shift off to the right which causes my wheel to hit the curb. At this point the van is half way on my lane if not more, and I'm completely off to the side..which is when the right side of my car pops up above the curb.
I was actually fucking driving with half of my car sitting on the curb. Thankfully before the van completed the whole lane change he heard my horn and quickly pulled back to his lane which allowed me to come back in.
Our speeds were around 50 mph. Overall, screw the van driver for not checking his mirrors before the lane change. I'm not an angel, I will admit that I was doing a good bit of lane changing beforehand but I was in that lane for a good 5 seconds before he came in on me. So it's not like I switched into the 1st lane in his blind spot.
Once all of us recovered back into our lanes, we kept driving, we didn't stop. I'm just happy that he didn't end up hitting my car.
