Driving to work this morning around 7 on the 5 freeway, I was in the commute mode doing about 70 mph in the fast lane with a VW in front of me and a black pickup to my right about two car lengths in front when from the third lane a SUV swerved in front of the truck. His move was like a backward question mark - a quick swerve into lane 2 an overcorrection immediately back towards lane 3, he did a 180. Now skidding backwards at 65 mph and tilting as if he might topple over, he hit the front quarter panel of some unlucky driver in lane 4, and both came to rest against the guardrail with the SUV still facing the wrong way.
Meanwhile, the rest of us who had slowed 5 or 10 mph continued our daily commute, glad that someone's inattention hadn't ruined our day. But it had given us a good feeling of what it must be like on the typical NASCAR track.
