The speed at which this unfolded prevented that kind of turn off. The driver appeared to either do this on purpose or made a last minute decision to turn off. Either way she was next to us and then just sped up a bit and whipped a right turn without warning....she didn't just veer from a position in front where we could react in that way. She was well past where a driver would normally move over to make that turn off.
