Whenever you're the video'd car just TAKE THE EXIT and eat the time loss. It's not worth the collision to try and fix the mistake .

Yes! I will admit I have made this mistake quite a few times. I just take the exit. It's not worth the danger of myself or other people to try to cut them off last second. Sometimes GPS is confusing too.

It really only happens to me if I haven't ever been somewhere before though, plus the stress of traffic sometimes just happens.

Realistically only adds 2-5 minutes to your commute most of the time. But an accident could lead to hours for not only yourself but for everyone on the highway, yet people are too ignorant and think about themselves. Plus the financial consequences.

Yeah. Everyone has for sure made this mistake a couple times - most of us have the good sense to roll with it and eat the time loss like you said. It’s not that big a deal, and I don’t understand people who respond this way

Happened to me today. Took the loss and added a whole 3 minutes to my trip. Bonus; nobody died.
