7. Not letting you merge into a lane


I do this all time to people that try and merge at the last second. It's an epidemic trying to enter the interstates in Houston. They cut across the entire feeder last second and expect to be let in front of everyone else.

All you're doing is making traffic worse. Good job.

Not really they are fricking up the flow through traffic lights causing drivers to wait in the middle of intersections while the light turns red on them. Most people aren't smart enough to wait and will venture out into the intersection and then the next group that gets a green can't go anywhere. All of this because 4 or 5 cars try and cut into the front of the line for the on ramp last minute.

The feeder roads that merge onto it. I guess I should have been more clear.

Regardless, if people were conscientious and would just let people in instead of being assholes, there would be less blocking of other lanes, less congestion, etc. It would do nothing but good, but youre just too good for that.

People who turn in front of you, forcing you to slow down, when there is no one in your lane behind you.

the lane switcher


very rewarding to watch this guy lose his mind switching lanes every 100 ft trying get where he's going faster then roll up next to him at the red light at the same time.

You have obviously never driven in Houston rush hour. I have no problem letting people merge but when it's my turn to go I do not let anyone in so the flow onto the interstate can keep going.

That is why I drive in the left lane on the interstate with my left blinker on. No one can accuse me of not using a turn signal.

People in front of me who lock up their brakes when they see a cop, even if they're already doing the speed limit....

Solid and true list. Slow drivers in the passing lane, line jumpers, and no blinkers are my top 3.

Drivers who immediately merge onto the interstate at a slower speed/don't use the entire on-ramp to speed up which causes the flow of traffic to slow down or have to use the left lane to dodge them entering on the interstate.

This.

Or drivers that wait for the person in front of them to clear the intersection before they turn, on a green arrow.
