TexGary, that's exactly what happened to me, I didn't had time to react. I knew that if I would quickly move to the right will even make things worst moving in an abrubt or sudden change of lane.

Customary is one thing. Following basic traffic rules is another. I disagree with you with the customary thing. Because that "rule" varies from person to person, depending on your bias, it is elastic to fit your personal interest. As compared to traffic rules and regulations, it is there for all of us to follow, regardless of your nationality, color, car, speed, and what side of the bed you woke up.

Cheers.
