I am sorry about that driving experience, Mari. It sounded frightening.

I think it is likely to have to do with how tired you were. Our balance can be thrown off. The sensation of pulling to one side might have been accurate and it might not have had anything do with choosing oncoming traffic v.s. same-direction or still-object collision. I will say, that if you discerned a purposeful, self destructive feeling in that experience, you should call the pdoc.

Something that happened to me when on high dose Depakote, when I had to add gabapentin for migraines, was that at gabapentin peaks, I'd get groggy, and whne walking I would feel like I was veering to one side. However, when out with my parents once, they said I was not actually veering -- it was just a sensation. I do believe that grogginess and especially med-induced grogginess can cause weird sensations.

I hope you can get the new Lamictal soon. Not sure what you will do about the increase, but it will be OK. If you feel the need to wait a week, do that.
