If you're driving too timidly, I'm probably not going to stop to let you pull out in front of me.
If you're driving like an a$$hat in traffic, I'm probably not going to make the effort to get out of your way (I probably want to drive faster than you anyway).

I will make aggressive maneuvers when I have plenty of room to put distance between myself and other idiot drivers who I'm not interested in being behind, adjacent to, or anywhere near (like if I see you on a fucking cell phone). My goal on the highway is typically to find a big gap in the traffic and set cruise control. I drive the side streets a lot during my daily commute to avoid traffic as much as possible.
I used to try to be polite, but no one returns the favors, so I've given up. If you want to merge and you're not up to speed: **** you. You wait until the lane is ending to merge: **** you. If traffic is moving slow and you want over, because you think MY lane is moving faster (which it isn't): **** you.

I hate traffic anymore. I hate driving, unless I can at least go 70mph.

yes!!!!

and people who drive in the passing lane... that aren't passing, or are going slower than the lanes to their right, or that keep a gigantic distance between them and the vehicle in front of them

also i don't get why people feel the need to change lanes immediately at a freeway merger... all that does is cause traffic to pile up. it's already going to go slower because of the merger but people trying to swap lanes doesn't help. maybe go like a quarter mile further before trying to change lanes?

my list can go on and on
lots of little things that cause traffic inefficiencies...

Where I get on the freeway we have to do this, because the two (of five) lanes there lead to the exit to the 17, so we have to merge two lanes fairly quickly in order to get onto the 10.

It's a giant cluster-****. You have people entering the freeway wanting to get onto the 10 and people on the 10 wanting to merge over into the people entering the freeway so they can get to the 17.


On top of metered on-ramps -The worst idea ever.

I feel like this is Pint's thread right now.

and accidents. people drive slow thinking they are driving safe. people behind the f-king idiot gets pissed and do all sorts of manuvers to try to pass him/her potentially causing an accident.

there should be a minimum limit of 0mph under speed limit unless residential area or at night, weather conditions.
