I always appreciate it when a truck or other large vehicle moves over a little to block the merging lane so the racing up the line bozos get cut off.
The best was when the racing bozo went to pass a semi on the right and ended up in the ditch because the shoulder disappeared. You could almost hear the cheer!!

Curious why someone's misfortune is funny. That in and of itself is a large part of the problem. So what if someone was using another lane to get further ahead? People take this stuff personally and it's the furthest thing from being personal. The "I'll show you" driving habits just cause more issues than they solve. "I'm not going to let someone in and arrive 15 seconds later because of it". Idiotic. And why? If someone is in so much of a hurry, let them. Ask yourself how you are impacted in any way. You aren't. People are strange when it comes to driving, making it all about themselves. I read a study once that detailed how people take a longer time to leave a spot when they know someone is waiting for it. This selfishness, self entitlement and power struggle is just stupid and causes issues.
I agree.
I am just amazed at how this "I'm not gonna let them in" attitude is so prevalent among RVers. And now they are cheering because someone drove into a ditch.
