Would you do the same in this picture?

[TheTickG]

Yes I have.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Life is too short to pick a fight over one lenght of a car...

 

[mb23100]

Probably. Not worth getting upset over.

 

[jx820]

Drive a beater and you don't ever have to let anyone in.

i got a gun pulled on me once for being a dick on the road with my daughter in the car

guy was a dick but i dicked him back.

the guy got out of his car on the highway, i saw him reach and i freaked out, put my car into reverse, caused an accident with the guy behind me.
My brain was going super fast and i reversed to create space and run the guy over.

I guess the guy realised he was also vulnerable, put his gun back in his banana pouch and sped away.

since that time i never get mad or taunt people on the road. you never know

 

[TheMadThinker]

I wish people would go bumper to bumper in these situations and leave people stranded for minutes in the lane that ended.

I think a small percentage are people legit not paying attention, but most are eff all these people I will just cruse past 50 cars in front of me and some sucker will let me in at the last minute.

 

[mjmj]

I have and will always do the same. Fuck em. I hate selfish assholes.

 

[badascan]

In principle, people who zoom up to the last yard before merging are who create the stops and problems so fuck em! But also, one shouldn't be so close to the bumper on front of them as to make it impossible for a vehicle to seamlessly merge. When the traffic slows down it doesn't mean get as close as possible to the car ahead of you, that's mindlessness...

 

[Beechwood]

I don't care for it when people do that. Where I live there are a couple places were people are to merge over due to roadwork going on. I let them in though. Figure no reason to get overly upset over it.

 

[Kassitus]

Surprised to see so many who agree. Lanes end suddenly and you have to zipper merge. If you were stuck in the same situation would you want people to leave you stranded? Merging a bit earlier will still result in slowdown.

Yeah but everyone else sees the signs way back, and begins to merge when they can without disrupting the flow.

This asshole decided to use the lane merge as an opportunity to pass a bunch of cars and expects someone to let him in at the front of the line.

Fuck that guy.

I'm guessing you live in a high trust community, because in most metropoli there is always 1 guy who does this, which means the good will to not do it breaks down and then very quickly nobody considers such things anymore and everyone just zipper merges like this.

 

[ssBaldy]

Depends on exactly how he behaves. If he drives to the sign and waits there for someone to let him in, it's fine, everyone does that here. If he tries to squeeze in like a dickhead, fuck him.

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Depends on what they're driving.

Examples of vehicles I would always allow to merge:
-Van with a stick figure family
-Semi-truck
-Emergency vehicles
-Clearly driven by an old person


Guaranteed to get a "Lol fuck off ya douche":
-Dodge chargers, Camaros, Mustangs, etc.
-Altimas (she's probably already late for work anyway)
-Lifted Trucks
-Teslas
-Prius
-Lowered imports (bonus points if stanced)



Everyone else I guess it depends on if they were weaving in and out of lanes earlier. I'm generally nice about things like this.

 

[method115]

I hate when people do this but I'm not going to be a dick about I'll just let him in.

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

You never know where that person is from, or if they are familiar with the lanes, so I generally let them in. If you leave earlier and anticipate traffic changes, you will be less stressed out in these situations.

 

[Gutter Chris]

So in a situation like this I usually ride with a gap in front of me for a good while and will let people in ....but if they drive past me all the way up to the closed lane I will close said gap and not let you in.

It's a dickhead thing to do to ride all the way til the end of line and then force everyone to stop to let you in and is why those jams get so bad.

 

[BlankaPresident]

Don't you guys know how to drive? Lanes should be used to their full lenght. Merging earlier don't make the traffic flow easier.

This. People merging further back just increases the backlog and slows things down further.
