To Those That Do This

[kodis556]

Oh, and side rant...To all you people with your wittle electric cars (you know who you are), we get it, your little toy cars have a ton of torque and can go 0 - 60 in 1.7 seconds. That doesn't mean you get to RIDE MY ASS as soon as the red light turns green. I assure you that will only make me shift from 1st to 2nd evvveeeen sllooooower...

Rant over.

After personal roadside fights, guns pulled, bullets flying and people being shot, I now realize I have to much to loose. There are too many people that depend on me to partake anymore. I chill while driving now. They can go around and crash without me.

I was in a car that was a couple cars behind my uncle one time and somebody was trying to get the the front of the cutoff lane. I seen him coming up all by himself while all others were over and he passed me and all the sudden my uncle merges halfway into the closing lane so the guy couldn’t pass. Everyone In my car cracked up. That guy was a blowin his little entitled horn.

I saw that once from a trucker. Moved halfway over and stopped the line of idiots. Everyone else cheered.

I do this all the time. One of the little joys of driving a 16 year old beater.

What the OP described is preferred in curtailing traffic. I think it's called the zipper method?

Yep. Everybody trying to get over a mile back and doing dick moves like blocking the other lane actually slows the traffic down a lot instead of speeding it up.

I'll tell it like I see it, the clowns trying to rush to the front should be crushed into the wall and the drivers who won't let people merge over early are d**cks as well.

Let’s not leave out the cyclists in their fruity spandex outfits that make their way to the head of the line and then run the red light with a LEO staring right at them who refuses to act. I love to get as close to the curb as possible to prevent this. One of my favorite things to do.

Zipper merging works in certain cases. What Beulah Land is describing is just people being inconsiderate dicks.

Thank you kind sir. What I was referring to is not the ones that have tried to merge over and just happen to end up where the lane ends, I am talking the ones that have plenty of opportunity and even have others slowing down to let someone in and yet they go flying up to the front just get ahead of everyone and dang near cause a wreck forcing their way in. They do it on purpose.

Their time is clearly more important than yours.

I actually had a dickhead in Chicago on 94 pull way right (I was blocking the E-lane runners before a merge) roll down his window and scream at me my GF, "What are ya doin'?! Don't block me!!! I'm an important person!"

We still LOL about this 23 years later.
