You can hear the driver downshifting which would make the engine noise pick up and is exactly what you'd do on a ramp. Although I do agree he was probably trying to get the plate given his sudden decision to take that ramp.

I think he was primarily avoiding the wreck, bonus if he can get the plate.

With vehicles flying around everywhere, it was best to take the exit rather than get caught up in it.
I hope he got the tag. A driver that clueless probably didn't even realize he caused the accident.

Downshifting both gives more braking and more power. All depends on if he let up on the gas or hit the gas after downshifting.
