Luke wrote: Two lanes merge into one. If I have the lead, I go first. If you're in front, I hold back. Simple. But it never is. There's always some jerkwad a full car length behind, who decides to leap-frog ahead at the last second, running paint-scrapingly-close to my car, then slamming on the brakes from carrying way too much speed, all to gain one place. And that's what's been pissing me off lately.
I have this too. Two lanes and right lane ends. Most of the responsible people get in the left lane at the traffic light but there are a few...quite a few that can't wait in line with us. They could be taking a right into the McDonalds or the Lowes but that doesn't happen.
The really sad part is that most of the folks that ride up the right lane and force their way into traffic are the same shiny happy people that make a left hand turn a few hundred feet from the merge...into a church.
Yes, that is right, they can't wait in line but they can stop traffic while they wait to make a left into a church parking lot to pick up their kids that are supposed to be getting a good Christian upbringing and good Christian values in their summer school or after school program.

Its straight-up hero work on my part I tells ya.
Towing the much missed Stinky one day, I was in the correct lane for the next exit and I was pacing traffic, ~70 MPH. I approach a 8 lane bridge where two Interstates cross and OMIGOD SOME DUMB SUMBITCH IN A GOLD ACCORD WITH KENTUCKY TAGS COMES FLYING INTO MY VISION FROM THE LEFT AND CUTS SO CLOSE IN FRONT OF ME I CAN'T SEE HIS BRAKE LIGHTS BUT I CAN SEE HIS TWO KIDS LOOKING BUGEYED OUT OF THE REAR GLASS and since dumbass is also decelerating as he makes this stupid move I jam on the brakes hard enough to go into ABS apply on dry pavement. I also show him 'He's # 1'. He takes the time out of his busy schedule of driving like a complete fool to do the 'come on big boy let's rock' hand movements, then he cuts across one more lane and goes out of sight down the exit ramp. To this day I sometimes get queasy at how quickly that could have turned into dead kids.

I used to drive commercial for a living. Darwin must be sad that big trucks generally have great brakes (for at least one stop). I cannot count how many times I had to lock up the duals to avoid running somebody over
