A dive bomb is when a driver quickly swerves into another lane, often in a risky way, like trying to pass another vehicle. It's not a safe way to change lanes and can lead to accidents.

Technical Definition

A dive bomb refers to a sudden and aggressive maneuver where a driver changes lanes quickly, often without adequate space or caution. This term is commonly used in motorsports and aggressive driving contexts to describe risky lane changes.
