When they first hit the curb I was thinking they over did trying to buzz and scare me. But after they took off continuing to swerve all over road it seemed more like they were intoxicated/hopped up on something.

As to sleeping, not paying attention... Really some luck was in play, nothing I could have done if they had swerved closer to me. They were clearly out of control so its not like they meant to miss me by 2ft. Sure I reacted quick to the result of them hitting curb and debris flying, but that was to prevent me from falling and getting hit by car behind me, not to avoid the OOC driver/car in the first place.
