OT: Welcome to Miami (home of the worst drivers in the US)

Was outta town this weekend - I live in Miami but flew out of Ft Lauderdale about 30-minutes north - was driving south on 95 which is probably the most-dangerous road in SoFlo.
A few years ago they added a pay-lane on parts of 95 which is the one all the way to the left - they have sticks to divide the pay lane from the regular lanes - it was Monday night around 10pm so traffic was medium and I was having a smooth uneventful drive tired after the flight - I was on the second most left-lane of the regular/non-pay lanes and there was a car about a car-length ahead of me to my left (leftmost regular/non-pay lane) - out of the blue a dark 4dr-sedan zooms-up up beside me on the left-most regular lane flying and switches lanes in b/w me and the car in his lane that was just one-car length ahead of me - it was as if he almost clipped my left-front-end it was that close but that kinda of driving is not that uncommon in Miami - so the guy makes a hard-right to switch into my lane in b/w me and the car in his lane just ahead of mine - he does this maneuver flying and as he gets into my lane to his right he then to tries to get back in his lane as he passed the car a car-length ahead of mine to my left - so he makes a hard-right to squeeze into my lane almost clipping me; then makes a hard-left to get back in his lane as soon as he passed the car in that lane and he goes sideways like 90-degrees to the traffic then cuts hard to the right to recover and goes over the sticks (about 4ft high) dividing the pay lane - after he cut left and was at 90-degrees to the traffic and goes over the sticks he cuts hard right and is now pointing in the right-direction but he was going so fast his momentum slammed him into the wall dividing north and southbound traffic - he hits the wall broadside w/ the left-side of his car - I thought that would be the end of it and at least he hadn't hit anybody - so he hits the wall broadside and I guess he jerked the wheel once he hit the wall so he bounces off the left-wall/center-divider and goes across all 6-lanes of 95 into the right-embankment - I didn't see if he hit anything as he was careening across all 6 lanes from center-divider to right embankment - but all of a sudden I see a Honda Civic spinning out a few car-lengths ahead of me (Civic was in one of the right most lanes of 95) - so the Civic spins out and does a 360 and ends up in the left-most regular/non-pay lane opposite/facing traffic; I assume the Civic was either hit by the 4dr-sedan careening across the 6-lanes or the Civic cut hard to avoid the out-of-control sedan (I kinda lost track of the 4dr-sedan as he careened from left to right as there were cars in front of me to my right) - this all happened basically in front of me and I passed it but couldn't pull over since I had traffic behind me and I was towards the left-lanes - I had slowed-down as soon as the 4dr-sedan had cut right in front of me to get in my lane so I had enough room to be out of his way as he lost control on his way to hit the left-wall/center-median and then careen from left to right across 6-lanes a few car-lengths ahead of me (I had slowed down significantly so I was not too-close to him when this was happening) , so I avoided him b/c he had my attention as soon as he zipped right in front of me; but the Civic was a close call as he was spinning-out from the the right-lane all the way across to the left-most regular lane and I didn't see him until he had spun past my lane and ended up in the lane to my left facing me.
I can only assume the driver of the 4dr-sedan was drunk AF b/c he should not have lost it like that and he kept on losing-it time after time when he could have come to a stop especially after hitting the left-wall/center-divider - either he was under the influence big-time or maybe it was a very-young driver driving a stolen-car and he was inexperienced and didn't know what he was doing - it was kinda surreal and not what I was expecting on my way home tired from my ATL trip.
