That's some idiotic driving on the part of the Shelby owner. I'm sorry for the car, not the owner.

This is what being impatient gets you. Why would you drive a car that you most likely waited months for and paid a ton of money for like that? More money than sense!

He drove like an ass period. Poor base/tech car.

Definitely need to be careful when passing on the right. Video is too short to call anyone an idiot though. Who knows how long he was behind the SUV, who also didn't signal for a lane change. Still, coming up and passing on the right is dangerous because the other driver may try to be polite and move over at the same time you are initiating the pass. Hopefully the damage is minimal to both cars and lessons were learned on all sides.

Fail on the gt350 drivers part.

Shit sometimes I get impatient, but I just let the slow drivers take their course and pass at the right time.

If you noticed, this all happened right when the freeway was in a slight turn, which could have amplified blind spots. I honestly think everyone should be attentive and proactive, like you were driving a motorcycle and your life is on the line.

Ya know the more I look at that video it looks as though the SUV was coming out of the right lane to begin with and decided to go back into the right lane at the last second. The person driving the mustang saw the SUV committing to the center lane and started to pass and got cut off. Watch it closely.

To me it looked like the suv was actually slowly creeping into the second lane. And last minute decided to go back into the first lane.. Without signaling. Watched it a few times, not saying the mustang was free of fault. Shouldn't be changing lanes that quickly anyway

Committing is different than completing. The Shelby driver was too impatient and tried to save a few extra seconds by going half-lane with the SUV driving, and speeding in besides him. He didn't even wait till the SUV was fully into the other lane before squeezing in. The Shelby driver sees everything infront of him, while the SUV is limited by having to look at 1 out of 3 mirrors at a time.

I believe this happened in Houston Texas. The suv tried to move out of the way and saw the gt350 coming up quickly so the driver darted back into the lane, not knowing the gt350 driver also went into the lane.
