I always do. The people who don’t will not be convinced by a bumper sticker I’m afraid. They don’t see transportation as a cooperative effort.

If you're predictable and not being a moron ppl will let you merge. Its only those assholes who try to merge at the last minute that ppl don't let it.

In most cases, merging as late as possible would be most efficient, because it utilises the max amount of street surface.

This would be great if waiting to the last second didn't result in cutting people off, forcing them to slow down as you essentially "cut in line".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

True, the very last second is indeed not great.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Generally, sure.

This certainly depends on the area's driving culture. But yes. When I merge I aim to not make anyone hit their brakes to accommodate me. Keep it flowing smoothly and we all succeed.

Do not show weakness, for they will use it to fuel their road rage; the zipper method is the known law in our neck of the woods; fight for your right to merge!

[–] Iheartcheese 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

fight for your right to merge!

Shoot them. Got it.

Returning Fire with Fire[1] will not be a pretty sight; I would advise being cautious when engaging others with guns. Don't forget to keep up with safety practices when handling firearms!

Make sure I hit them with the first shot. Got it.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I admire your confidence in engaging with a hostile target.

I advise being passive when dealing with road rage people; move to the right and let them pass you.

[–] Iheartcheese 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You're right. Easier to shoot them in the back.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty -1 points 5 months ago

Damn, you are quick with your wit!

Props!

As long as you please match speed and merge at the end of the taper, not move over at the beginning while driving slower than everyone else, who now have to slow down to let you in

If you can

Please

Thanks

I hate the idiots that decide that they should do 50 mph on an on ramp simply because they're just going to the next exit and not merging into traffic .

[–] Sam_Bass 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I try to time my merges to come in right behind a semi as they are mostly slower than everyone else and give me enough added time to reach cruising speed without being tailgated

[–] Sam_Bass 6 points 5 months ago

If you would actually speed upto merge instead of slowing yourself and us down you would be let in more often
