We have some spots on our busiest roads where there’s three left turn lanes at a light. I have witnessed someone in the leftmost lane decide they no longer wish to turn, cutting off both other turn lanes to jump to the straight lane. This person is bad.
I don't think you're into corona that much though
This one depends on how traffic is flowing to me. If it’s moving, then let em in, ain’t hurting anything. If it’s stop and go and they just wanted to skip the line, fuck em.

I am once again asking people to
learn to zipper merge
</bernie>
Life is a highway
What's that
When two lanes constrict down to one lane, the fastest merge method is for both lanes to proceed all the way up to the constriction and then alternate. What most people wrongly do instead is to merge much earlier, as soon as they see a sign indicating the lane change, which is much more inefficient.
Oh yeah that... Kinda makes sense
But I drive on city streets almost exclusively so I often have plenty of room to simply get over early
Highways are fuckin scary still almost ten years after getting my license
in practice people who speed and swoop end up causing delays because someone has to come to a full stop to allow them in
depending on my mood sometimes i'll go at a slow speed in the closing lane until a late merge, but the point is to find a merging spot where no one has to slam on their brakes
Could, sure
Should? Absolutely not

I'm not the worst or anything, but I feel like there's a lot of room between where I'm at and where the ceiling is. I wouldn't make it very far at all in a high speed chase, for instance
You'll always have an asshole wanting to get ahead and merge and drive like a goddamned jerk to do it, followed by someone trying to force everyone to merge early by blocking the lane
If you know how to signal properly, that already puts you in the top 5%
I sometimes do the Pac-Man not for things like these merges, but when everyone is waiting to go straight at an intersection with a red light, with a bike only lane to the right, and I see someone slow-rolling down a vehicle down that lane without a blinker. Because 9 times out of 10 that someone is going to attempt to gun it straight and push their way back into the lane mid-intersection to skip the line.
Depends how aggro I'm feeling that day.
I haven't driven enough in other states to have a definitive opinion elsewhere
The number of people who will stop in the middle of a roundabout in order to wave me in is frankly insane.
Both the written and the practical test were alarmingly bare bones.
That and a shit load of roundabouts. We're kind of getting there (at least in the Denver area) but no one knows how to properly fucking indicate in a roundabout (or in general really).
They're fine but nobody fuckin knows how to use one particularly old people
Edit also the thing with merging is I'm extremely bad at checking my side view mirrors and my blind spots! And even worse at driving at speeds over like 45mph and being comfortable. It always feels like I'm seconds away from dying or getting someone killed at highway speeds.
Especially because highways are 65mph in Ohio and seventy fuckin five in Michigan.
It's actually a good thing to have a lot of room between you and the ceiling when you're driving. If there is not much room between you and the ceiling you may be driving inside someone's house.
All drivers everywhere suck, but Massholes drive the worst.
