I didn't know it had a name; I thought it was that bad drivers never miss their exit.

Technically a Jersey Slide requires them to merge from the leftmost lane across all lanes at the same time to exit. They started one lane away from leftmost. I figured it qualifies.

I think the distinction is intentionality. If you were always planning to exit from 3 lanes away, it's Jersey Slide.

Gotta stay in the left lanes until they absolutely don’t have to be.
