I’m not sure whats happened in the last ten years but people have no clue what to do in a merge anymore. At least twice a month someone tries to pass me at the last second going into a merge and then decides not to and ends up forcing me to either floor it or slam on my brakes. People are freaking idiots.
I hate the drivers that barrel past you, only to get ahead of you, so they can turn at the next corner.
I mean, seriously, what were they trying to accomplish, aside from me running into the back of them?

Well, there are a lot more Asian drivers in the last ten years. ;)
Get a death grip and the wheel and look straight ahead, the hell with everyone else. That is you typical illegal driver.
That’s a pretty common thing in Utah. Another thing people do on the merge is that they only get up to 45. Merging into traffic doing 75 when you’re only doing 45 doesn’t work and is dangerous. I’ve crossed a lot of solid lines on the merge when seeing an opening because it’s a lot less dangerous than hanging behind Mr. 45 that’s trying to get me killed. If a rear-ender happens, it’ll be somebody behind him, not him. (And I’m sure he’ll go merrily on, pretending that he didn’t see the carnage in his rear-view mirror. People like that are selectively hard-of-hearing, too.)
