That was close...

Can't a guy just enjoy a nice quiet commute in the morning anymore?

Surprisingly, he didn't hit anybody behind me and was able to come to a stop without killing himself 100 meters later. Traffic was busy and I couldn't turn around so don't know what happened afterwards.

I'm thinking he probably feel asleep at the wheel. Thought I was going to loose my Yaris for a second there.

Glad no one got hurt. Is the traffic that bad all the time? What cam do you use?

It's the normal heavy on-ramp bridge rush hour traffic. I was only doing 27kph/17mph at the time.

The camera is an older Blackvue 400G-HD. Here's another example from the camera.

I have a post about it somewhere on YW.

Whoa...!

...That was close! Glad you got missed & hopefully they missed all after you - I think those rubber/plastic traffic polls might have brought the person 'drifting over' back to reality. I think they were texting AND falling asleep

Scary...one little moment like that can turn out to be life-changing. Glad you are alright
