I'm not talking about full lanes, I'm talking about jerks who come around the side and push their cars in front of those who have gotten into the open lanes. Enough people do this so that your line almost stops.
You can defend your driving methods but I don't think it excuses driving to the front of the line and nudging others out of the way so you don't have to wait.
Rude. Rude. Rude!!
A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a guard approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, "I'm sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk.
"Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
SubMareener is correct. This is a traffic flow issue, not a bruised ego issue. There is one exception, though, If the person pulls OUT of the stalled lane to get in the flowing lane, and creates a hazardous situation in doing do, that's a problem. But if th guy was in the moving lane all along, then s/he should keep moving until that lane stalls, or until s/he reaches the merge point.
That results in the best flow and the safest traffic situation.
What I can't understand is that on a conservative website, posters would advocate for the government to intervene just to keep his/her ego from getting bruised. "It's so unfair" is a liberal mantra.
