Just today a guy changed lanes with obviously not checking over shoulder or mirrors that good. I was going around 75 and he was going probably 60 in the slowest lane (going one lane over). I was accelerating planning to keep merging left.
Well he started merging into my lane (pretty fastly too) and i had to completely slam on my breaks to avoid hitting him. He also started breaking (but didn't immediately go back in his lane?) so I slowed down from 75 to about 35 mph as I had to down-shift into second after he finally did get over ( he never went back to his own lane completely).
Any other car I think I would have hit him. Not only did the ABS activate but I heard my tires screaching. Very few times have I had to slam on my breaks especially at those types of speeds. Car's behavior was completely normal though (did not wobble or pull in one direction).
