Wouldn't surprise me to learn it was merely an automatic placed in park. How else does a car *suddenly* roll off the trailer?

HOV lane + cruise control + radio = oblivious

Even if he was experiencing tunnel vision, just moments earlier another vehicle moved into his lane too. Traffic suddenly starts shifting left? That's a great time to PAY ATTENTION. Whenever I notice unusual traffic flow, there's usually something more to it. The fact that his speed and/or course didn't change shows he wasn't attentive.
