He should have realized what a bad situation he put himself into and called law enforcement to get him out of it. He'd get a healthy ticket but he deserved that much.

The problem with this situation there is no possible way to predict his actions. If he's waiting until I pass to go, and I slow down I could end up hitting him, I moved over to the right hand lane expecting maybe he might pull into the left lane and finish the turn after I passed.
What he did was wrong, illegal, and unpredictabletruckdriver31 Thanks this. -

Anytime I've had a close encounter with a UFO, um didn't have time to shift, could only hit the brakes hard with my right foot and cross the right foot with my left one and lock er solid till she stalled. In less precarious situations I could drop a no of gears and bring her down at a steady rate.
Speed_Drums and truckdriver31 Thank this. -

Well first off, glad you survived to tell the tale.
ALWAYS anticipate that they will do the unthinkable, and be ready for it. You'll never predict exactly what they WILL do, so you react for the worst thing they COULD do. Might even mean stopping completely. -
