LOL. And then you'll see a documentary of how I got my ass beat downed.

I didn't even noticed that. I see it now. I realized that once his brake lights were illuminated I did a quick head check within 1/4 of a second. When I turned my head back forward, I was already pushing on the right handlebar already and my bike started moving right. At that very same time, he started moving right as well. I guess my brain wasn't ready for this and I didn't react fast enough to push left to cut back in the original lane. But in all honesty, I think his left blinker messed with my head. I was probably thinking to myself at the time "he's indicating he's going left....why is he moving right?! I shouldn't move back to the left lane because he's communicating to me....that HE will move left". I don't know if that made any sense to you guys.

Same goes for the beginning of the video. Once he put his left indicator on, within 2 seconds, I did a mirror check giving myself an escape route in case I needed it. Unfortunately, my escape route to the right lane was blocked.
