The Swerving Car meme, also known as Left Exit 12 Off Ramp, features a car skidding violently toward a highway exit. Originating from a 2013 video of a car nearly missing an exit in Sweden, the image became a viral sensation as a way to illustrate a sudden, dramatic shift in preference or a bad decision. Usually, the straight path represents a logical or 'good' choice, while the exit represents a more chaotic or humorous alternative. It remains a staple of internet culture for depicting impulsive behavior and relatable distractions.
