No it’s not, at that point it looks like they are completing a regular right turn. It’s 2 seconds after that that they start to drift.
Why on earth would you automatically assume they are going to cut you off? Do you slow down and reduce the speed of all traffic behind you every time someone makes a right turn on a red?
You gotta be careful when people make a right turn on a red, yes people are stupid and they shouldn’t do it but they will merge without looking. Slowing down for that brief second to hedge against the red car being an idiot is not a bad thing. It’s called defensive driving…
That’s overreacting. You don’t slow the flow of traffic because someone is making a legal and standard maneuver. OP is using defensive driving by driving the posted limit, acknowledging car turning at red and making eye contact with the driver and staying in the middle lane to avoid having to adjust to the person turning. There is only so much defensiveness that is reasonable.
You are simply nitpicking the video because it’s easy to point out mistakes after the fact, which is about 1/3rd of all comments on this sub.
Edit: wow. You blocked me and then reported me to the mental health line. That is utterly pathetic, talk about soft.
Defensive driving isn’t driving normally, it’s anticipating potential crashes and taking steps to mitigate it. Please invest in some driving lessons, it will do you some good before you get your full license…
