😂 GTA players have spent years accusing Los Santos traffic of deliberately swerving into them at the worst possible moment. Clips like this are exactly why the theory has become such a long-running joke within the GTA community. One popular explanation claimed Rockstar intentionally used traffic to slow players down at extreme speeds so the game world had more time to load, but former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij recently disputed that theory. Vermeij explained that the sudden lane changes are random and can become especially abrupt when road-network nodes are positioned too close together. He did confirm that GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas and GTA IV used certain zones with increased air resistance to limit player speed, just not by intentionally sending NPC cars into their path. So while GTA traffic can absolutely feel like it has a personal vendetta against you, the chaos appears to be a side effect of how the traffic system behaves rather than a secret anti-speed mechanic.
