This is fresh in my mind, just coming off the interstate where there was a middle lane accident right before the most congested on/off ramps.

Letting people over is cool, it helps move shite along, but at least gesture in a way that would show appreciation. Don't just pop over and act like I had to let you in.

Also, just because you put the nose of your car out between me and the car in front of me doesn't mean I'm letting you in, so frick off.



Good morning all!

I have a winch bumper, tire carrier, and sliders. If I put my nose put, I'm getting over.

Sorry baw.

Letting People Over in Traffic

People don't have to let me over. If I can see you are just a fricking a-hole driver, then I force myself over. Be more courteous, you frick head.

There's always the people who know the lane ends for at least a mile but drive all the way up to the end and then expect to be let in. Yeah, frick those people.

The best thing to do is to drive as far down to the traffic obstruction as possible before then trying to merge with flowing traffic. I mean, why wait, you know?

Because it's a dickhead move. If it weren't for people trying to merge at the last moment and actually waited in line like everyone else, there's a good chance the traffic would be moving at a considerable pace because nobody would be stopping to let your dumbass in

Everyone has somewhere to be too. It's always important to remember the zipper method when two lanes need to merge. It's actually a more efficient use of space than one long line of traffic.

But then you can't get ahead of everyone. And people always say that time is valuable.

The best thing to do,as soon as you know there is a merge ahead, position yourself in the middle of lanes, so everyone will have to merge sooner,instead of creating a bottleneck at the last second, it really will make things go faster for everyone.

I feel like most of the traffic jams that occur on my commute everyday are because of these people that do this. Infuriating.
