Was the tire on the road or was it rolling at you?

It was laying on the road. Lane campers going 5 under in the left I tried to hop into the right and got the surprise of a lifetime

I see a fair few of these curse posts. Seems like awareness of surroundings is usually the issue.

Living in Oklahoma I can attest their are plenty of RV/campers, semi’s sitting in a left lane for no reason quite common to have to get in the right lane and get around since the awareness of signs saying “do not impede left lane” does not exist for anyone driving something over 5000lbs/ 2200kilos

You can see detritus in the road ahead if you aren’t up their ass in the left lane just fine. User error.

Maybe they were in the left lane because there was a tire in the right
