I must chime in on this one.
The mother driving the van did not have enough time to determine the Z's speed and approach because it was weaving at 80+ MPH. She did not know whether to slam the brakes or gun it. If she slammed the brakes the Z pretty much would've t-boned her. If she floored it, the Z pretty much swerved left (in the video) and would've t-boned her as well. Plus, the van has very poor throttle response so there would be an initial lag or slippage, which would've jeopardized her anyway. She couldn't maneuver left or right from her perspective either because the Z would've hit her regardless.
