Oh, and apparently getting to the end of the entrance lane is an automatic right of way to cause every other driver in the area to take evasive action!  |
That happens around here as well. Especially the last minute merging maneuver that many drivers pull. And god forbid those bastards don't make it into the lane; they usually straight up block the lane they're stuck in because they refuse to budge until they get their way. So people behind them are scrambling to get from 60+ mph to 0 within the next 40ft or so.
But the 3 times this happened to me this weekend were during cruising speed. Once at 11pm when the highway was actually mostly open.
