Once this lady was in front of me trying to get into the right lane. It was slightly raining and she had almost brought our lane to a complete crawl in the middle of Tampa's busiest and largest highway intersection. I was sooooo pissed that I zoomed into the right lane, slowed down to a crawl, and beeped at her to get in front of me. She did. Then I zoomed back into the middle lane and proceeded to drive.

She was waving at me thanking me, and I managed to smile, but SOME PEOPLE DRIVE SO CAREFULLY THEY ENDANGER EVERYONE ELSE.

But anyways, I let people merge--it's stupid to speed up even if the person "cheeting" it's better to let them merge than to be that one person who is going to "teach them a lesson" and possibly cuase more problems in doing so.

I let people merge

I let people merge, but only one person. Some people prey on the generosity of others and purposely drive in the lanes that are merging over just to pass by everyone else and squeeze their way in when they had a mile warning to move their ass over in the first place. Those people are the ones that I wish I had machine guns mounted on my car for.

I wave people in sometimes, but living here everybody drives like they own they road.

Then you have people with giant trucks and SUVs making up for their own little things.

It's insane.

It depends, if traffic is flowing well, they better get in where they fit in, my mother told me that you don't slow down to let people merge. I also don't speed up to fuck with them though. If its slow traffic, sure, I'll let two, maybe three people in.

I let them merge ...but you better get the fuck over if your in the left lane going under the speed limit!

I say let them merge....

I'm the kind of person that can't get mad at people with road rage. People sometimes cut me off and I can't get mad enough to even honk. I will honk for safety reasons or if they're absolutely going to kill me. I can count the times I've done that.

I take the nice approach and let them merge. Better safe than sorry.

"Why did the duck cross the road?"

I let them merge. Don't need any car crashing on my concience just because I didn't let them merge. The road is no place for power games.

But if you let everyone merge, they'll take advantage of you and then you'll be stuck yourself. There has to be a limit to one's generosity.

Merge is not something people around here do well, whatever. It's the mofos that don't know how to yield that get me goin.

MrJoker said:

Yes. well, I'd rather get stuck in traffic and be late, then never reach my destination at all because I played power games on the road.

I am polite and share the road, and drive defensively.
