This Q3 Driver’s Maneuver Will Make You Anxious
|We’ve all had that sinking feeling when we suddenly realise we’re not in the right lane.
Most of us manage to change route safely and in a controlled manner, but some drivers panic.
This shocking footage shows the moment an Audi Q3 driver veered from the outside lane to a slip-road, sharply cutting across several lanes at speed.
The black car is travelling up the outside lane overtaking cars in civilized and relaxed manner.
Without warning, the driver swerves left between two cars in the middle lane in a last-minute dash to exit the motorway.
The driver fails to indicate and a cloud of dust goes up as the car cuts across the white lines of the junction.
The dash-cam footage was taken while Mr James was driving his HGV southbound on the M5 this month.
The Audi pulled off at the junction with the A417 not far from Gloucester.
The Highway Code states that vehicles should be in the left-hand lane well in advance of the junction if they wish to exit via a slip road.
Drivers should signal left in good time and reduce their speed as necessary once on the slip-road.
