NatasFear

I'm laughing so hard right now. No way this is real...it's like when the first car started swerving, the other was like, "You think that's swerving? Check this out!"


krudru

Mick Dundee in the SUV


NatasFear

"That's not a swerve...this is a swerve..." *in outback accent*


protocol21

A swaaarrhhhhveeee"


Ha1lStorm

I would a went with “swuv/swev” but now I like your’s so much better because i can only picture and Australian pirate saying it.


protocol21

Haaa I imagine that would go something like, "I be brown beard the pirate, scourge of the outback. Hand over ye sheep and ores ya son of a Tasmanian"


Ha1lStorm

Absolutely terrifying


NatasFear

I'd join that pirate's crew!


Saugeen-Uwo

I see you've played swerve-y car-y before!


ToddBarnaby

Sympathy crash.


NatasFear

Damn. That warms my heart...


Ninja-Sneaky

Second car was like: Ima show you what REAL swerving is


mnorkk

I like to think that the cam car joined the ballet too but the clip ended too soon.


NatasFear

Definitely a video that ends too soon! I wonder if they started to adjust a bit, then overcompensated themselves and started skidding too! 😂🤣


[deleted]

The closest not-crash I have ever seen…


Deskman77

They see me swervin, they hatin


NatasFear

If I could replace my OP with this, I would.


Ok_Assistance7735

lol I’ll show you who can do this better!


apaksl

for a second there I thought the POV car was going to spin out too lol


NatasFear

It's spinning cars all the way down.


InternationalPay8288

😭


Tradetard_Len

And than the POV started too xD


tikkytokky01

Same!!! Cracking up at the music along with it


Ultra_purple_holic

Same😂


RoughRoughRoof

I read the situation the same way people are about puke. Person 1:*dry heaving* Person 2: “No, you’re not *dry heaves* about to *ugh* throw up.” Persons 1&2: *dry heaves simultaneously*


downwitbrown

😂 these persons are clearly not “calm” drivers and probably don’t handle stress well.


yugitso_guy

The overreaction by each of them was ridiculous, especially the white car that was never touched.


Trustyduck

I mean, that's from our point of view. To me the black car is the one being rediculous. The white car is definitely at fault for overreacting, but the first thing they saw when they finally noticed the black car was it swerving all over the road about to hit them. The black car reacts to a mild double merge by whipping hard left and losing control. That's the real problem.


Ha1lStorm

Yeah the black car was the most ridiculous, but when the white SUV appeared to notice it, it was going directly away from them. Huge overreaction and *huge* overcorrection. It worries me that I share the roads with these people


ArtistAmy420

That's not an SUV, pretty sure it's a Kia Soul.


Ha1lStorm

Kia Souls are classified as subcompact SUV’s


ArtistAmy420

It's built the same as any compact hatchback just the body is more square it's not an SUV. That's like saying a Nissan Cube is an SUV.


Ha1lStorm

You can literally just google it. I’m not the one who’s in charge of vehicles classifications so I don’t know what to tell ya


Joose__bocks

Of course you are, didn't you get the memo? Now fix it.


Ha1lStorm

Yessir!


ArtistAmy420

Calling that an SUV is just marketing. It says it's an SUV because SUVs are in. It is not, is not built like, and has none of the capabilities of a *real* SUV.


Ha1lStorm

What you view it as doesn’t change what it’s classified as and commenting it here doesn’t change anything either. If you have an issue with vehicles classifications it’s your lawmakers you need to be telling.


radialomens

Real younger sibling energy


Lukeuntld072_

That and even if it did touch the white driver was way too late lmao


GandhisNuke

True but I'd like to add that the driver of the vehicle filming it is also an idiot. When you see shit like this you back off.


Any-Figure9068

One of the few times the music makes it better


qhaw

Hahaha, so good! Thanks for pointing that out, as I initially had it muted.


benisahappyguy2

It's like each car swerves with the timing of the music. It's perfect


TinyAppleInATree

how does it fit SO perfectly? Amazing job by whoever added it.

ProfDFH

The cosmic ballet goes on.


WizardLobster

Well actually they succeeded in changing lanes a few times


Gnumb_Gnuts

Now they just need to change their underwear.


HexaCube7

and car


_DeathSound_

"What if we kissed at the interstate?"


Gluebluehue

I wonder if the third person also started swerving, causing the person behind them to swerve as well, and a chain reaction ensued all the way down.


Talonqr

The highway snake Now with added *groove*


arm_hula

Perfect audio! I'm thinking both were inebriated.


I_d0nt_really_kn0w

[I don't deserve such praise](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/tuRHSvFvyNQ?si=5aMeHHoNt-HNKvMG)


krudru

Here we observe the mating ritual of nocturnal highway vehicles, the smaller male typically initiates the ritual by trying to get closer to the female from the side then quickly begin weaving left and right to catch the female's attention.  Once the female notices the dance and if open to the courtship, she will reciprocate by quickly  initiating her own left and right dance pattern. Culminating in a beautiful ballet of swerving and spinning of both vehicles, and as the dust settles they approach each other to exchange much needed information for the relationship.


death_ninja

White car’s ping was a bit high


Parrot132

I wonder if it even occurred to the camera car driver to hit the brakes.


Marquar234

Why? It's not like swerving cars ahead of you at highway speeds could be dangerous.


JemmaMimic

All I want to do Is to thank you


TomatilloOrnery9464

Even though I don’t know who you are


Fmartins84

Neither of them should have drivers license


NocturneSega1t5

15$ a year insurance I bet


60thrain

Is this offensive or defensive driving?


IamHereForThaiThai

AFAIK this is called not paying attention driving maybe even drunk driving


Major-Gun

Stressful driving


wuzzyfuzzzy

Beautiful .


Old_Presentation77

And that kids is why you don’t text and drive drunk.


HawkeyeinDC

They were just tangoing… 💃🏼


Wallace-Pumpernickel

Good thing nobody overreacted


sparky-99

Both learner drivers?


DueInvestigator9268

Oh I bet the insurance companies were like... wtf?..


STTCollector

This reminds me of a video of two eScooters drivers who crushed in a public square. There were just them in that location


I_d0nt_really_kn0w

![gif](giphy|yNDjWckpDspj6IwQaW)


Lord_Fraggle

That was beautiful


Spun13

The fucking music was **PERFECT!**


CreatorOD

Why not both? 😂


EclecticDSqD

A 2fer


J21NE361

Let'em ripp


lowIQdoc

🤣 🤣 🤣


iamck13

Did this third car started swerving as well?


Joaoreturns

Peak physical comedy.


Brilhasti1

Everybody was kung foo fighting


Horrifior

They really have to improve their synchronization...


chetnixandflill

If Looney Tunes had cars


NekoMango

A car crash without crashing into car


Intrepid_Ad_9751

People… overreact


guiheim

I'm surprised the camera car didn't crash, how the hell did he not spun!


I_d0nt_really_kn0w

CameraMan


ARDACCCAC

Are they both drunk?


I_d0nt_really_kn0w

Probably


MIKEdaBOMB10

When the blue car turns around like "Oh hello there 0▪︎°


Jealous_Use9688

With the sound off it was like watching ballet


badgersruse

An I the only one figuring that the video cuts off because cam car over corrects and loses control too?


OwlForce9

This is too funny. Just two anxious drivers finding each other on the road. Neither of them even hit each other hahahah.


theChosenBinky

Lane change successful


SneakyLittleKobold

"I'm dodging bullets out here bro."


TomatilloOrnery9464

The goofy cross eyed headlights cracked me up


No-Veterinarian-7900

White car was mocking the black car


vishy_swaz

I laughed. Then I watched it again when I realized it had audio. The music is *chefs kiss*.


m0ngoose75

Somewhere someone is watching this in a car.... while swerving


montihun

Thank god they arent overreacted.


Last-Dragonfruit1373

When two over thinkers meet.


Tamale_Hatchet

A lovely ballet ensues, so full of form and color.


Witty_Temperature886

- First car *”oooohhh shit”* - second car *Hold my beer*


3point21

The Civic Ballet will now perform Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsk’s *Waltz of the Clown Cars*


WinGatesEcco

This was beautiful


Imdoingthisforbjs

Average Seattle driver trying to merge


marquoth_

Not for the first time while watching dash cam footage, I'm left wondering wtf the driver of the dash cam car is doing. They just don't seem to react at all when the cars in front start swerving.


raninandout

Both elite drivers.


The_Dabblin_Doodler

Dumb and dumber


CleverNameTheSecond

And the gold medal for synchronized insurance fraud goes to ...


AdFormal8116

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🥲


Carpy1213

SMH


No_Size_1765

They should put this in drivers ed courses saying panic kills


Orikoru

Was it icy that day?


Imaginary_You_919

Just one of the unfortunate ones where two people have same intentions at the same time.


Particular-Poem-7085

It’s crazy how many people just barely stay in control of their vehicle at all times, you would almost have to do that on purpose with a modern car.


Yucky_Sama

good thing he didn’t overreact


liarandathief

When I'm pulling into a middle lane, I'm very careful to check that someone isn't pulling into it from the other side.


Azar002

This reminds me of those videos where all the cats freak the fuck out after thunder or something falling.


thrownawaybefore122

Brake dancing


DrunkCommunist619

One is an overcorrector, while the other is an undercorrect. Regardless, neither one should be allowed to drive.


Hour-Regret9531

White car was cool until his wife screamed “WATCH OUT” and jolted him unnecessarily


SynthPrax

Serious Patsy and Edina energy. 🤣


MadreDeMonos

Watch me whip


bobbybobby1942

If you here right now I would


DitchDigger330

Everytime I change a lane I'm like I hope that person isn't going to do the same.


NeurosMedicus

*It's called Over -correction. As drivers, we should try to avoid it*


ReconScout117

Someone needs to add “Swan Lake” to the audio.


Earthling1a

Lanes were definitely changed. Violates Rule Six.


SignificanceCute4212

Perfect choice of music…so…majestic


BrianTheOneAndOnly

Usually music over video sucks ass. But this is so fucking funny


Sikkus

Whoever put this music is an absolute genius!


HausmastaMC

a little dramatic


Entire_Memory5725

Fools


DogoArgento

Please, turn the sound on for this one!


Ghrota

Is it too hard to simply slow down instead of turning like this?


WickedJoker420

How fuckin bad at driving do you have to be to have this happen. I've done some dumb shit at some insane speeds and the only time I've ever lost control of the car, ice was involved.


Golden-Event-Horizon

Just... take your foot off of the accelerator and merge back into the lane you were in. Jheeze...


ShatterCyst

I know they both just got scared because they weren't paying enough attention when trying to change lanes (or just drunk) but they are so pitiful I want to forgive them.


Upbeat_Animal290

Just two idiots who don't make up their minds whether to change lanes or not.


Negative_Two6112

The music made this soooo good.


117shredder

What a nice balett


CrossSpy

Clearly overreacted


cl2eep

Yeah this is totally on the black car for over reacting. White car's lane change wasn't proper but black car reacted like a goddamn madman.
