    I will let you merge if you’re going the same speed as traffic. If you treat the on-ramp like a school zone, I don’t want you in front of me you nuisance.

      People that merge going slower than traffic only to speed up AFTER they have forced traffic to either slow down or speed up to pass are monsters.

    One time when I was driving to work, I was stopped waiting for a traffic light behind some other cars, and a guy in the opposite lane was waiting for a gap to turn onto a parking lot.

    Traffic started moving, and I was about to go, but decided to stop and let the guy in first.

    But from his perspective it looked for a second like I wasn’t stopping. And that single hand movement that went from “fuck you” finger to “thank you” wave made my day.

    Go towards the end of the zipper and put your turn signal on. I’ll let you in.

    Don’t: go to the end of the zipper with the turn signal on and just follow the shoulder line assuming I’ll let you in. You actually have to yield. If you use the shoulder because no one let you in right away and you couldn’t be assed to slow down even a little I’ll actively block your criminal ass.

    IIRC, I saw this one on the Upper Left Coast last month, though it may’ve been a red hatchback. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Depends … cry in angry rage? … or cry in a crippling sense of powerlessness and hopelessness?

    Not very well thought of, you need that person to merge in first before you can see it.
