Agreed. It's the whole, lane is ending on the interstate and people are flying up to the front knowing its ending. There are a ton of douches out there.


That's called zipper merging, which is the correct and most efficient way to do it. The OP scenario is different as the guy came to a complete stop blocking an entire lane while trying to merge.

100%

Every traffic study ever suggests that this is the most efficient way to merge two lanes of traffic. Almost nobody does it right as people are inconsiderate and dont like people getting in front of them even if they are moving at a snails crawl and leave no room in front of them for a merge to occur. So people either get in line and create a backup that holds up other lanes, streets and intersections, stop in the middle of the street like an a-hole and wait for an opening or they crawl by in the open lane waiting for an opening that never appears and end up having to go straight or turn left and circle the block/make a u-turn.

What he "gotta do" is take a right instead of a left, then make a u-turn and get his arse at the back of the line.

I frequently see stupid people breaking the law like this . I like it when the cops catch these inconsiderate dumbasses and make them pay the dumbass tax.

Well I'd 100% rather cops spend their spare time pulling people over for acting like assclowns in traffic like this rather than giving out inspection sticker tickets. You know, something that actually affects public safety.

So I applaud the officer and wish more did stuff like this.
