Today my niece and I had a close call, the guy in front of us was not so lucky, with some idiot who apparently never drove a vehicle before otherwise I have no rational explainations for the reasoning behind the dumb a$$ maneuver he did today. 
We where coming back from town today and where following a full sized pickup similar to my red Ford F250 Super duty. The driver in front of me was driving normally and appropriately for the road conditions as we followed him down the highway. He put his right blinker on and started slowing down to make a right hand turn just like any normal driver does and I responded by braking and slowing down and moving outward closer to the center stripe in order to keep a proper spacing between us plus get ready to roll past him like anyone would normally do.
Everything was fine and nothing was out of the ordinary until I looked in my rear view mirror and saw this smaller white car coming up way too fast behind us. I kept on my brakes and figured he was going to move left into the clear oncoming traffic lane and pass us like a typical careless idiot in a hurry.
Nope! I see the front of the car dip down as he lays on his brakes so I got ready to be hit and I reached over to my niece intending to push her back into the seat and tell her to hang on expecting we are going to get hit.
Instead speedygondumbazz shoots past us on the right side of my pickup missing us by inches and plows into the side to the pickup in front of me thats most of the way through his right turn and almost completely off the highway pushing him across the side road and up against a snow bank.
WTF was that maneuver all about? Clear open lane to the left but takes the right shoulder directly into the side of the pickup turning off the road ahead of me?
Anyone else ever seen a clueless idiot do something like that or worse?
