I've heard that referred to as a "Jersey turn".

That exact scenario happened to me recently. on freeway at 70+ and WHOOSH here comes a 'something' suddenly by me in far side of freeway passing lane and then cut right in front of me. narrowly missing me by inches, sure he was going over 95! and cut to the R across all lanes in front of traffic in the other lanes! just like that!!! guess someone inside said, 'hey, that's our exit!...'

I could not take my eyes off the offending vehicle. It straighten out its cut across the lanes and began to wobble. the wobble got worse and suddenly the vehicle (SUV) rolled over and then flipped endo's couple times... in a malay of dust, gravel and car parts flying off...

I did not stop.....too busy counting my Blessings!!
