What are they thinking? I don't think they are. All they'd have to do is go down to the next exit and turn around.

The link you were using essentially says to continue at the last second, so there's nothing for it to embed (continues at 50 seconds)

I post a lot of videos here, Colbert, The Daily Show, Seth Meyers, etc. So I always preview them and when only the link shows up, like what happened to you, I check my YouTube history - since that was the last video I viewed - and choose that link instead and it usually works for me.

On a five lane road. Everyone was really lucky the drivers close to them were paying attention and had the skills to avoid them since traffic was pretty steady at 45-50 mph. The second one really pissed me off since there are numerous overhead signs and plenty of road markings indicating the upcoming turns.

I'm getting so I don't want to drive with all the idiots on the roads!

Unaware of what they caused? I think not.
