Detroit Dive

When you need to make a left hand turn but there isn't time for the usual "safe" positioning and execution via a stop and a sharp turn because the traffic window of opportunity is closing fast. So you start a long sweeping left turn, early, at a high rate of speed, by moving into the path of oncoming traffic, aiming at the side street or driveway you mean to end up in before the other cars get to you.
Oh my gosh, look! That fool is making a Detroit Dive right in front of all those cars!

Detroit

Detroit is an American city founded in 1701. A struggling city, went bankrupt from 2013 to 2015. Lost a lot of people, but a lot of white people are here now. A lot of gang influence in the Westside. Blight programs are in order to get rid of all the abandoned homes to make land for another use. Recently built the best architectural looking arena ever, Little Ceasars Arena. We have Detroit-Style pizza, which is extremely good. Crime has gone down so much, we moved 5 in most dangerous cities in the USA. Detroit isn't that bad, you just have to see it for yourself, if not, then don't talk shit.
Detroit was actually pretty awesome, saw a lions game, wish I hadn't come here
