I hate people who try and thread the needle between lanes. It's such an asshole move and unsafe for everyone around them just because they are stuck up their own ass.

Braking suddenly is a shit plan for control of your own vehicle.
Idiots will continue to be idiots, and you should expect them to do something equally asinine right after that, if not more so. (eg. Braking suddenly after cutting you off)
Is it OP? Regardless, the driver in the rear car was smart enough to slow down effectively and steer toward the median (away from traffic, risk of rear collisions) — may've also been trained re: axle maneuvers as an exploitable point on other vehicles at speed.
Slowing down as a knee-jerk reaction doesn't solve the issue of other drivers acting like self-absorbed asshats, and might actually increase the risk to your own self.

Since she's parked on the shoulder along the fast lane and has removed her seatbelt, looks like she's gonna do the rational thing; get out of the car for a pedestrian meeting in the middle of the highway. /s
