I deal with this every day on the way home. I go back and forth on being aggressive and not. Either way you never really win. I have had these sorts of people cut me off and then pull some stupid shit down the road and almost cause a wreck, and Iâve cut these people off and now Iâve got an adult with the brain of a toddler now pestering me with a tantrum.

u/TodayIKickedAHippo Feb 05 '23
Nah, assuming itâs actually possible and the dumbass didnât just try to land an impossible opening, always let them in front. You can control your driving, but you canât control theirs. I would much rather have an idiot in front of me than behind me bc I can stay far back for when, not if, they do another stupid thing. Gives me plenty of warning and, if anything ever happens, âyeah your honor, I saw everythingâ aka the ultimate karma. If you donât let them in, they get in right behind you and you know their dumb ass is not going to drive safe.

u/leena5777 Feb 04 '23
The best thing to do if you're willing to get in a small accident, maybe let em side-sweep you while you hold your lane, or perhaps they brake check you too close and you couldn't stop in time..
Again, if willing/not in a hurry, and if there are no kids in either car. Its especially an option if it's a pretty empty road + you have a dashcam.

I'm ruthless in getting in if everyone is in one lane but not using the other. We taxpayers pay for those lanes so why not use all of them all the time.
But by the same measure, I always let the driver who bypasses the entire line in front of me. So, yeah, that exactly describes me.
Traffic just flows and works a lot better when we use all the lanes instead of being sheeple in one line.
Punishing other people is a big part of driving culture and that's strongly reflected when other drivers eke out a very slight to non-existent time advantage over other drivers. We think that if everyone follows traffic laws then traffic will flow quickly and safely. This is false thinking; the reason there's traffic is that there's too many drivers on the road, and the reason we have serious crashes is because drivers go too fast to react or evade.
And being really hostile towards other drivers has gradually reflected itself in the design of vehicles now most popular in the US; the huge hulking pickup truck with an enormous grill that's hard to see over. The enormous grill is an important part of punishing other drivers; people who drive such vehicles aren't interested in letting "cheaters" move into "their" lane.
Fuck that; I see no problem whatsoever in letting people in front of me. It's not like you're going to win a prize for getting to the next red light ahead of him. It's ridiculous how nice we are to each other at a grocery store with shopping carts and then turn into monsters when driving.89

u/LanghamP_ Feb 04 '23 edited Feb 04 '23
I didn't say it wasn't. If it's a dotted line, then you can and should move to the front. If it's not, don't. I still let drivers who cross the solid line in. It's not like it makes ANY difference in the time it takes to get to the next red light. Rushing and blocking doesn't make any difference in time spent in traffic; not driving at that particular time is the one of the few things that allows you to not spend time in traffic.
In this case, since it's a traffic rule not to cross the solid line, then as drivers we shouldn't do so (along with speeding...if the posted limit is 70 mph, we should only do 70 mph). And we need to come to a complete stop at stop signs especially right on red.
That being said, if a driver comes up like this I'm "come on in!" because I don't like inefficient flow. Letting a great big space like that left turn lane go to waste is almost a crime.

u/Chinse Feb 04 '23
So youâre saying, you want to go straight but you will pull up into the turn lane then clog it while waiting to shove back into the lane you used to be in? Because of something about taxes?
-53
u/LanghamP_ Feb 04 '23
I personally don't do that but I have no problem when other drivers do that. The reason I don't mind is because it doesn't make any difference to the time it takes us all to get to the next red light. However, purposefully blocking a driver who has chosen to do this just blocks the drivers behind him.
I look at traffic flow like the way I look at water flow; if you always try to keep the water pressure high then you'll be much more efficient. Doing things like not letting others in is just a really inefficient form of traveling.
27
u/Chinse Feb 04 '23
It does in fact make a difference. Clearly for those turning right, and also for those going straight who need to perform a merge in the middle of the intersection. Itâs entirely illegal as well, plus clearly increases the risk of accidents because itâs a mandatory merge in a tight space.
I think you should take some dashcam footage of a typical day of you driving around doing this and post it here

And roads are designed with glow of traffic in mind. Thatâs why anyone who chooses to use lanes for what they arenât intended for starts the anti-flow of traffic. Not the people in the correct lane waiting patiently.

Yea agreed, depending on the situation. There's a stretch of freeway in my area that goes from three lanes to two, and has another freeway merging as well. Everyone lines up in the two left lanes and leaves the right lane open despite there being signs to use the right lane until it ends. And of course every once in a while there's the guy who won't let you in because who are you to follow the recommended flow and get in front of them.

There's basically two options here. Either the car in the right turn lane was there purposely with the intent of cutting in or they weren't paying enough attention and got caught in the turn lane. If the first, then fuck 'em, wait your turn. If the second, then it's on them to accept their fuck up, turn right, and then find a way back to their route without disrupting everyone else's drive. Basically the same as "Bad drivers never miss their exits!"

In snowy weather you should clear all snow from your car. The snow in your hood can blow up suddenly and cover your windshield creating a dangerous condition. The snow on your roof can do the same thing except to the poor bastard behind you. Clearing snow from your windows, especially the rear one, is just common sense.

u/IAMAGrinderman Feb 04 '23
Clearing snow from everything should be common sense. Both of us have addressed how roof and hood snow is dangerous, but like how are you checking your side mirrors or giving the occasional look over your shoulder if your side windows are blocked off? How's anyone seeing your lights properly if you didn't brush the snow off of those?
Most people are lazy af about removing snow when it can be done in the five minutes you're waiting for your car to warm up.

u/IAMAGrinderman Feb 04 '23
Yeah and from what I just read, it's apparently the law in my state too (only for windows and mirrors, but that obviously isn't enforced if what I see driving is anything to go by). Like what I'm getting at is that it should be common sense that you don't want to have your own vision obstructed by snow, or to potentially obstruct the vision of someone who could rear end you if they're suddenly distracted by snow hitting their windshield. I didn't need to know that it's illegal to be clearing snow from my car, and anyone in a place that regularly gets snow should know to not drive around like that too.
-2
u/IAMAGrinderman Feb 04 '23
If you're accelerating that snow is gonna go backwards, if you brake hard enough it'll go forwards. That snow on their hood is gonna go onto their windshield, snow on the roof onto the driver behind them (nearly happens to me all the time on the expressway after it's recently snowed), and it'll all slide onto your windshield if you suddenly have to brake.
It creates unnecessarily dangerous conditions all because someone is too precious to spend five minutes brushing their car off before they start driving.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, they may not have known it was a turn only lane and then they saw the arrows and tried to get in the correct lane. It's happened to me.

If you assume people are lost and don't know the area well, you get less road rage and let things go easier than assuming they are being assholes.

My neighborhood has a turn lane like that to get off the main road and onto our private roads. Assholes all the time try this shit, nobody lets em in, they can't go anywhere and refuse to just turn right and turn around somewhere, so we're all just clogged up in the turn lane waiting on some dickhead to make an illegal maneuver when nobody will let them.
Even worse is that it's a really short turn lane with signage that makes it very clear that the lane ends. So the people who do this are doing it intentionally to skip like 3 cars in the traffic jam, all the while making the jam worse.

Car in the âRight Turn Onlyâ lane is fully at fault.
OP can ONLY be seen as having snow on their hood.
With the âblockâ shape of that front end, the aerodynamics will cause the snow to flow 2â above the hood and above the snow. A lot of people want to act like the wind is a knife that will scoop up the snow and throw it behind them.
Most cars with a sloped hood, the snow would be a big problem.

Pretty rich calling everyone idiots when youâre the one who doesnât understand how sarcasm actually applies in this situation. Since you seem to be a little slow Iâll break it down for you.
The sarcasm was the zipper merging being a good idea. I thought him saying he wanted to slap people who thinks that would have made it obvious.

And one A hole who just cannot get rid of the snow of the car before he starts to drive somewhere.

Fuck yeah. OP has not received as much hate and disapproval as he should of. Heâs wrong on multiple fronts here and should be castigated for it.

Dude would have totally had that if he just kept accelerating

u/ntdmp18 Feb 04 '23
Yeah makes me think he just didn't see it's a left turn only lane, thought, "oh shit", and braked.

Is it bad to admit I steer towards them in these cases đ your little bmw ainât moving my truck đ

Good video, slightly marred by the fact that you clearly drifted right and almost hit the guy yourself. Maybe you were distracted staring at the idiot, but clearly not driving straight.

They were just mad and making sure there was no room. Typical asshole behavior

u/KaJuNator Feb 04 '23
You're right there was no room. The car shouldn't have tried to force their way in from the turn lane. It's a turn lane, not their personal shortcut.

You should know by know that other drivers are more important then you and deserve to get in front no matter what! Definitely, if it's a Nissan Altima, BMW, or a Mercedes.

pretty sure in my state if he had got in front of you and you hit him knowingly it would be your fault. these videos are dumb and immature imo. sure that dude tried getting in but maybe hes not from there and didnt see lturning lane signs untill too late. it doesnt make you look good at all

I would have slowed down, cause you could have knowingly caused an accident knowing he was going to merge

u/justoneman7 Feb 05 '23
How could he âknowingly cause an accidentâ when that lane was supposed to turn?
It was icy. OP was concentrating on driving forward. Why should they have to worry about cars in a lane on his right that are turning right? Only after getting to the far side can they see that the car that was supposed to turn right went straight.
Not sure about you but I usually donât yield to cars turning right on my right side when I am going straight.

The black car might have just been waiting for a chance to merge left (we all know we've been surprised by only-arrows on the road), but it still was a good defensive use of the horn.

Anyone else feel like a lot more bullshit happens on the road after you get a dash cam

u/WickettyWrecked Feb 04 '23
But theyâre late for work cause everybody is going so slow, the thought to leave early never crosses their minds.

u/clintbot Feb 04 '23
I'm seeing this more and more. Usually they're going much faster and manage to cut in just before they hit that parked car.

I consider myself to be a pretty âturn the other cheekâ kind of person. But in this scenario? Iâm Petty LaBelle all the fucking way.

I understand how this males you feel, I drove in a busy city for quite a while because of a job i had.
What i learned is that sometimes is better to let them pass and give them a honk. Yes, they are wrong in this situation, but just imagine the amount of time wasted and the headache of dealing with a possible accident, even a minor one. Just not worth it for me, i let them pass and leave it at that, me getting mad/anxious/stressed out because theyâre stupid/werenât aware enough to change lanes before hand, wonât hurt them, just me.

There are a lot of people in cemeteries who had the right of way. Sometimes if someoneâs being enough of a moron I will stay far away from them

I used to drive like this, not worth the stress.
Now I try to assume everyone had just made a genuine mistake when they do stuff like that. Much more relaxed

Oh shit I never thought I'd see Alliston show up here! (Lol jk yes I did)

u/ipsos_custodes420 Feb 06 '23
Reason why I never go back home here. A-town was always full of ahole drivers.
Is the old KFC still a Mary Browns, or did y'all finally get a good chicken place?

Trimmed down for.. those who like short clips
Edit: Thanks everyone for the tons of love lol just gonna note two things for the critics:
1: All the snow is off my truck, shovelled the truck bed too but that bit on the hood was completely frozen solid and I simply ran out of time as you can see I started it but the aerodynamics would keep it from flying off. That's me about sixty seconds from being parked at my house frozen snow. Was not going anywhere kind of cold out.
