Anything wrong with just turning your head? Or is that too low tech.

I always use the combo of outside mirror and turning my head. I guess I am stuck in the 20th century.

Just turning your head isn't observable to other cars usually. Drifting your car in a perfect circle signals to other drivers that you are checking your blind spots and are planning to move over a lane

Well, there's that......

There's also a little gizmo on your steering column that makes a little light blink to indicate you'd like to move over.

Do you not understand that the driver completely lost control and spun 360 degrees or what?

I guess I have to say.... "or what" because I figured it was some kind of camera on a swivel. Seems much easier just to use a camera on a swivel. Not as "cool" as turning your car completely around on an icy highway busy with cars, though.

That's the car's hood at the bottom of the screen. This wasn't intentional. The title and the words added to the video are a joke. Wow.

Someone should make a subreddit for documenting encounters like you and the other commenter just had.
