“The White Car’s Driver Reacted Extremely Well”: Dangerous Multi-Lane Maneuver Angers Tallinn Drivers

A sudden maneuver across several lanes in Tallinn nearly caused a collision, but the driver of a white car reacted quickly enough to avoid it. Video of the incident began circulating on Reddit on Sunday under the title, “I’m turning now, good luck everyone.”

The footage shows a passenger car abruptly moving right across multiple lanes and cutting in front of the white vehicle in the neighboring lane. Commenters focused largely on the second driver’s response. “The white car’s driver has extremely good reaction skills, it has to be said,” one wrote.

The white car’s driver has extremely good reaction skills, it has to be said.

That commenter said a similar incident had recently happened near the Järve viaduct. Another car reportedly moved in front from the left lane just before a right turn, at a location where changing lanes was not allowed. “One wrong move and he would have hit the pole, and that would have ended badly for all of us. It’s unbelievable what is happening in traffic,” the commenter wrote.

Several people said they believed such maneuvers had become increasingly common in Tallinn. One commenter criticized drivers who cross three lanes or a solid line at the last moment, saying they should continue ahead and find a safe way back to their route instead of insisting on making an immediate turn.

Others described the behavior as everyday Tallinn traffic. One commenter said accidents are often avoided only because other drivers compensate for someone else’s mistake. Some drivers recognize that they made a mistake and improve, the commenter wrote, while others conclude that the maneuver works and drive even worse next time.

Some people who drove incorrectly realize that they made a mistake and try to do better next time. Others realize that it is possible to drive this way and do worse next time.
