It’s illegal to impede traffic in the left lane. Several years ago, the Captain of Troop B was on the radio and confirmed that you need to move over, even if the left lane traffic was going over the speed limit.

I can't believe people are downvoting the zipper merge

I admit at one point in life I too was annoyed at people doing this, but then I recognized what is obvious - that it's far more efficient and safe to use the full amount of space.

It’s only efficient and safe if everyone does it.

At least 50% of the general population are shitty drivers. That means 50% of this board are shitty drivers.

People who stop in the middle of the main road to let others from a side road turn onto the main road when there is absolutely no traffic.

People that hit their brakes before they get in the exit deceleration lane.

I'd put the impatient person driving like a fk'n idiot putting everyone around them's life in danger to save a few seconds of time or jump one car position is the worst.

Not much. This makes me irrationally angry. And it's everyone from old people to teenage girls, but one thing they all have in common is they are going 10+ mph below the speed limit and holding up traffic.

Morons who interpret the yield sign as a stop sign at the entrance of a roundabout even when they can clearly keep moving into the roundabout safely.

Idiots who drive in heavy rain with their hazzard lights on especially at night.

Dipshits who don't zipper merge by using the entirety of the entrance lane.

Passing you on a double yellow line only to turn off the road 1/4 mile ahead.

People who don't pay attention when the light turns green. You've got 2 seconds tops before I'm honking at you.

similarly, people who pull out in front of you onto a busy highway from a side street, when you are the only car traveling down said highway, only to then take their sweet arse time accelerating up to the speed limit.

because no one does it

Most of the time when I need to merge, no one lets me go so I have to stop - which causes back ups - I try to avoid merging in BR - especially on Jeff Hwy to Airline southbound

People taking a turn that feel the need to turn a little the opposite way before like they're on a race track.

This is a 30mph surface street, not a formula one race

Driving 70 is safer than driving 80 but if everyone is driving 80 and you’re driving 70 then you’re the one being unsafe.

Let me think of a few

People who turn their right turn signal on then move over to the left completely doing the opposite of what they signal

Old men who drive sports cars at 30 in a 50 but "look cool"

People who wear masks in their car alone when driving

People who anticipate a red light so they slow down so much that of course the light turns red because they slowed down 500 feet before the actual light

People going slowly doesn't do much to bother me. Yea I bitch about it but just go around them

I don't care if you are doing 120, if you aren't passing someone, get the frick out of the left lane.

Not if you are driving in the appropriate lane and the other drivers were using the left lane as intended...to pass slower traffic and then moving back to the appropriate lane themselves.

Your response is completely irrelevant to my post...FYI
