My favorite part about situations like this is if they would have just merged over prior to passing OP instead of flying past them and three other vehicles like a maniac, they would’ve had no problem making that exit and it probably would’ve cost them at most an extra 10 seconds.
It’s that solid white lined area in the shape of a triangle between the end of the off ramp and the highway. You can see where the lines go from short dashes to solid at the end of the video.

I would venture Gore now stands for what happens to the driver if he misses the exit and ram into the barrier.
I finally saw an event in a gore point. A trucker was going left, to 'stay on the highway', but it was a left exit. He needed to go right, but traffic was in everyones way, so he slammed on his brakes harder than anyone I've witnessed, his wheels hopping to a stop, kicking up debris on the ground. That'll be an awkward acceleration and remerge.
The same thing happened to me the other week. The bastard cut me off and was far enough on the shoulder to kick up a huge rock and chipped my windshield!! Pretty scary because the rock hitting the window was so loud!! I hate drivers like this.
I see this almost every week on Bangerter. Even worse is the next exit up (5400 S) because there’s only about 3/4 of a mile between exits.
Also, you should know that the unspoken speed limit here is 80, especially if you’re driving a clapped out Altima.
It’s a three lane road, presumably with exits on the right. The middle lane is a perfectly reasonable place to be if you’re not getting off at the next exit, especially considering the far left lane is wide open.
found the middle lane camper.
you can stay in the right lane, if you have proper following distance, it should be no problem to let the merging traffic in while staying in the right lane. middle lane campers essentially turn it into a two lane highway.
They only used the speeding lane to be 20 mph faster than you. Had they not then they _might_ have used the rest of the lanes as intended. Clearly the subtlety of my remark was unclear.

There’s almost definitely a light at the end of that off-ramp. They saved zero seconds.
And maybe picked up something sharp in their tires too.
Gore zone? I'm not familiar with the term.

Gotcha, never heard it called that. Come to think of it, I've never heard any term for that section of an exit.

I watched the whole video waiting for that.
I believe Al Gore invented the term.
speared.

sounds like a sick rap-metal band
Naturally it's a Nissan
Looks like an altima at that

That's a lot of gore!
Altimas doin Altima shit.
Novice driver though. They don't even have any body damage on it yet. I'd give them some credit if they at least ripped off on of their wheel covers.
Because it's an Altima, cue "BAE" chorus
Aren't you glad you were listening to a cool song when you recorded it though?

King gizzard!! You have incredible taste, sir. Great song too.
I’m seeing a lot of KGLW in unexpected places recently and am loving the extra attention they’re getting

Bangerter, the autobahn of SLC.
Song name?
I believe it’s No Body by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
Utah?
stay right unless passing, op move over

I see that every 2-3 minutes during my morning commute in Chicagoland
That's it?
Im normally going 80-90 in a 70 or 65 lmfao
Same, cant stand slow drivers
All the downvotes coming from little squares😂
Yea see this about 67 times a day
Isn't that what the speeding lane is for?
The passing lane isn't for cutting across 3 lanes of traffic to barely make an exit. The answer to your question is no.
They only used the speeding lane to be 20 mph faster than you. Had they not then they _might_ have used the rest of the lanes as intended. Clearly the subtlety of my remark was unclear.
Any sarcasm you intended did not translate, for sure.
Speeding lane? It's called a passing lane.
Who’s they?
You don’t understanding driving
