Dash cam footage. I get this at least once a day. I use the VAVA Dash cam. This is a snap shot of the video.

I feel your pain. Is this the turnpike southbound exit, just south of Hollywood Blvd, where it starts to go west? I've had the same thing happen to me at that exit and came close to having a major accident because of it. People don't pay attention to where they're going and then cut left when they realize that they're in the wrong lane.

It's horrible to have to deal with, but seems like its par for the course when living in South Florida.

Do you have your accident avoidance and assist activated and at what level? Seems you need more than the normal setting!
Glad you did not have an accident! Whew!!!:whew:

Not this Ranger, but I had two between the ages of 16 and 21. I tried to kill both of them so many times, they stopped trusting me. One time the key refused to turn or come out on one of them. I'm pretty sure it was mad at me for having it buried to the hood in mud the day before (9" lift, 35" tires and a police interceptor 302 under the hood).

I sold them both in working order when I got married :)
