In the middle lane on a highway, going about 65.
Not much going on in front of me and the right lane is wide open.
I figure I'll move on over to the right lane because traffic is moving along at a good clip.
Put on right directional, look in my rearview and begin my move to the right lane.
As I do this I look right and immediately have to swerve back into the middle because this [censored] [censored] goes wizzing by at about 90 in a low-rider celica pos.
This [censored] was going so fast he was a blur.
When I had looked in my rearview, he was aleady in my blind spot. Had I not looked right as I began to change lanes, I and my family would have most certainly been seriously injured, if not killed.

This would have been the same scenario if you were going to switch to the left lane, and the Celica decided to do the same. As my driving instructor told me when I was 15, "Change lanes after you check your blind spot, don't change while checking".

I agree, and that's what saved me/us.
I had juuust begun to move over while looking right and this guy was *zzzooooom* right past me. I was still in my lane, thankfully. There would have been no time to do anything had i done it blind.
