The first one is the person that refuses to put on his headlights at dusk or in the rain. The "I can see you so you must be able to see me"
Next we have the person that thinks you will move over for him as he enters the freeway........ wrong not moving because I have a semi passing on the right.
Next we have the clown that cuts you off because you aren't doing 70MPH even though you are in the far right lane.
Finally we have the gut that just blows through a dead red light. This seems to be far more frequent of late.
These people ware on me and I really wish they were fewer but they seem to be multiplying.
I didn't have the time to read all of the responses. If someone is trying to merge onto the highway and you are in the right lane with a semi next to you would it hurt you to either reduce, or increase, your speed so that you and them don't end up at the end of the ramp at the same time as them ????? Maybe if you let up the semi in the other lane would outpace you and then you could move over !!!
It's not always the other guys fault. You could be nicer person and give some else a chance to you know.
I've had idiots slow to a craw in heavy traffic to allow me in when they should have maintained their current speed. The obligation to adjust speed is on the entering traffic, any time that two are playing the same game there is no telling the outcome.
I'm not suggesting slowing to a crawl especially when the merging traffic is also slowing down. All I'm saying is that it can't hurt to take the cruise control off and then move over into the the other lane if possible. I was not there so maybe this couldn't be done in this case. But, there seems to be a lot of people on the highway these days that feel as long as they have the cruse set then the heck with everyone else.
We are all on the roads together lets all try to give each other a brake.
