Dear Asshat...

let's have a little discussion
on the do's and don'ts
of merging in traffic

shall we?

Instructions to merge right when the left lane ends are as follows:

• Good judgment and good timing are necessary to merge smoothly with the faster-moving traffic.

• Motorists should reach proper speed so that the driver can merge smoothly into the travel lane when the way is clear.

• Always use the proper left turn signal to indicate the need to enter the traffic lane.

• Drivers already on the roadway should, for their own safety, make allowance for vehicles attempting to enter.

• It is the driver's responsibility to yield the right-of-way to other cars on the roadway when changing lanes.

• Remember that through lanes always have right of way over on ramps and lanes ending, so merge sooner rather than later if at all possible.

No where in there does it say:

• Come screaming up on the left going fast as hell in some half baked attempt to beat the whole line of traffic in the fight lane

• Don't bother signaling cos the idiot in the right lane knows yer gonna wanna be in his/her lane right where his/her car is

• Don't bother looking over your shoulder cos cos the idiot in the right lane knows yer gonna wanna be in his/her lane right where his/her car is

• Flash the person in the right lane the bird and lay on your horn cos they don't slow down to let you in front of them...

cos really?

you just end up
looking like the asshat
you are
and you get
to the next intersection
approximately 30 seconds
before I do.

Asshat.
