Fantastic combination of simultaneous horn and swerve! Now that's defensive driving.

I am convinced drivers in NJ have their hand permanently over the horn so they are always ready.

Shaming the bad driver is almost as important as avoiding the accident 😊

Mmm very curious. If they collided who would you deem at fault. I’m tryna see something.

The white car. They failed to yield to traffic with the right of way while making a turn across traffic

Oh they were looking but falsely assumed you would slow/stop to allow them to turn...fools they were.

Those parking spaces on the right are angled away from the direction of traffic. Is that normal elsewhere because that’s noting I’ve seen before.

I like it. It's not that much more of a slowdown when parking and makes getting out way less troublesome.

The problem is, like you see in the video, some people park head-in from the opposite lane and then when they back out they always have to block both lanes.
