The deadbeats now usually drive an Impala that has a bumper hanging off or a shitty beat up Ford Pinto

I had a jackass tailing me last month that was driving an Impala. He was wearing no shirt, had tattoos all over his chest, and was smoking a cigarette. Dumbshit was tailing right up behind me through downtown. Classic Impala driver.

And, how exactly did the Kia get in front of you?
Did they merge or move the appropriate lane when they saw the first sign 1 mile before the lane ended?

Zipper merging works... if you don't wait until the last minute to merge.

Somehow, in all the time I've been driving, I've never been the one getting over at the last minute. I will occasionally take pity on the idiots that waited until the last minute to merge.

I’m driving. It’s up to you to merge. Don’t assume I’m going to let you in and don’t wait Until the last second to start looking for a space.

I have a different issue. some frick behind me feels the need to merge faster than me so she speeds up to 80, preventing me from merging

I'm really trying to restrain myself from using a bunch of 4 letter words that will get me banned. These idiots fark up traffic for miles behind them, and don't care. Old people, I sort of forgive, I'm learning about vision issues. But it seems as the majority of them are under 45, often of a certain demographic, and have "STUDENT DRIVER" stickers all over their vehicles.

They should also just drive off the overpass.

If I have room available I’ll move over a lane to allow the cars entering the highway. Usually I’m pretty easy going driver but I do hate rude drivers.
Ex Driving up to the front and expecting others cars to let them in. People who wave at you expecting you to basically stop to allow them access - usually this is on 2 lane road.

If you’re the a-hole that drives to the end of the merge lane expecting everyone to let you in, eat a dick. If you wanna merge immediately, feel free.

Merging at the beginning of a merge lane slows shite down, no matter how you perceive it through your road rage goggles.

In a perfect world, all cars merge towards the end.

It is the insecurities of the drivers Already in the lane that typically screw it up.

It’s not someone else’s job to let you in. Find a gap and merge. You have the yield sign!

You sound like you don’t know that merging may involve either speeding up or slowing down to match the speed of traffic and fit into an available slot.

Except that’s how merges were designed to run most efficiently. People merging at the end.

The main reason they don’t work as efficiently as designed is idiots not letting people merge over at the very end.


Not if every car goes to end...no

You should relive it by typing out on a sports message board so that you get hypertension.

You screw up traffic either way when you merge at 45 in a 65. People that drive too slow cut the capacity of a given roadway by significant amounts. Read a book called "Traffic."

I’ll let you merge, unless I see you speeding up in the right lane to cut in line, on the one way road we travel, if I’m in my 2000 sierra w/ only liability. I give a little more space if I’m in my 90k SUV, which I don’t own/drive.

Everywhere there is an on ramp to the interstate traffic slows because people don’t know how to merge which causes the left lane of a three lane to complete stop moving. Go figure

If you can’t get yourself in front of me, you don’t belong in front of me.

Or version 2, I let you in, you let them in, they let more in and I’m late for work.
