Yeah, 33 is young. Just kidding around and tossing insults since it seemed to be the going thing. I think we have identified the real douche bag. Guess it's me? Or maybe there are plenty to go around.

Glad to hear you're studying hard. Most don't. Hope it goes well for you. Can't ever go wrong making yourself a better person. It will pay off longterm.

Good luck to you and all the best.
Nice post. I like when people can disagree and rip on one another and still come out civil. Although this is a lane topic to argue about.

i have actually gotten so sick of it that I’ve block the merge lane before to keep people from cutting in line. How about that
For the love of god, way to make shit worse. Notice in the video how it shows the little cars blocking an intersection? That is exactly what happens when people start stacking before the merge.
I’m no troll. I’ve done it and smile when others do it. It’s bullshit I’m sitting in a line in the proper lane and jackasses fly by all the way to the front, knowing damn good and well that lane merges.


Big enough
You're a cop why don't you just ticket the people that "go to the front"? Is it because they are not actually doing anything illegal? What about the people blocking a lane of traffic? At what distance from a merge point does it become legal to impede a lane of traffic?

So you get your panties in a wad over a bunch of assumptions. Not even worth a rebuttable. I assume your the reason you're unemployed in this job market with 3.5% unemployment.
Can't defend your story so you respond with an ad hominem. Good job!

It wouldn't come to a stop if people properly zipper merged.

Yes it would, and it does. Always.

It is not the other person that is the entitled asshole, it is you.

There is no scenario where the person who gets over once aware of the need to is being an entitled asshole.

All this to try and justify your actions of teaching the other guy a lesson. OK.

How else are you supposed to teach children about manners? It's the same thing as cutting in line. I never have and never will understand how anyone can support it.

The other day I had some asshole shoot in front of me like this in a construction zone.

I was going to cut in front of him but then I probably would have hit him.

This would have led to an altercation which probably would have ended in me shooting him center mass.

I would have paid up for a lawyer and gotten away with it but the asshole's kids would have sued me.

I would have paid them to go away but it still would have cost me a bunch.

So I let him in.

You know better than to deal in absolutes. I'm aware that zippering does not always prevent traffic from stopping. However, it is better than the alternative.

There is no scenario where the person who gets over once aware of the need to is being an entitled asshole.
The one were you prevent people from merging does make you one. Say you are an eighth of a mile from the merge point are you not letting someone over?

How else are you supposed to teach children about manners? It's the same thing as cutting in line. I never have and never will understand how anyone can support it.
Cutting in line at school or a store or to get into an event or etc. are not in the same realm as traffic flow.

Can't and won't defend against made up bull shit.
Your story makes no ****ing sense. Everyone has to make assumptions with your shit story telling abilities.

Even in Texas you would most likely do time.

Haha, thats funny. People that pay up for real lawyers do not do time.

See: OJ, Robert Durst, Robert Blake, Isaac Turnbaugh, Ted Kennedy, Donte Stallworth, Snoop Dogg, Jayson Williams, Vince Neil, Don King, etc. etc. etc.

You know how there are areas in your town where two lane merge to one and everyone tries to speed around you and cut you off? Last night we were at one of these spots, and there was just us and one other truck on the road. He had all day for a couple of miles to get over either in front or behind us. We come to a stop at a red light about a block from where the lane has to merge or turn right. This douche bag nails it from the light and cuts in front of her. My wife goes there's never a cop to bust ass holes like that. Next thing we see up ahead was blue lights. Cop was sitting on a side street shooting radar and saw the whole thing. Speed limit in this area is 30 mph, he was doing at least 50-60, and where he merged was already a solid line for turn area. I'm pretty sure he went home with a fat ticket.
I agree OP, but Ive done the same before too . What I hate worse is when you are cruising at highway speed (55-60 mph) and there is nothing and no one behind you. Then some smart tail almost makes you slam the brakes, because they cant wait until you pass to jump right out in front of you and cut you off. THEN...they go about 25 or 30 mph (well below the speed limit) to further the insult!

No, it's not. It requires one group of people with foresight, and good driving habits to allow idiots in front of them.

The one were you prevent people from merging does make you one. Say you are an eighth of a mile from the merge point are you not letting someone over?

1/8th of a mile? Probably not. If he's bumping up against the barriers before putting on his turn signal, **** yes.

Cutting in line at school or a store or to get into an event or etc. are not in the same realm as traffic flow.

They absolutely are in principal. You can't possibly not see that

We're gonna agree to disagree. Far as I'm concerned, if you run up to the barricades and expect others to let you in, you're an impolite asshole. That's the way I see it, and I'm not changing my mind.

Zippy merging is fine and dandy IF everyone does it. Never happen. Someone will try to squeeze in behind another car just to get one car ahead and that will be the end of that.

There must not be a lot of construction around where you live because if there was you would change your mind in a hurry. There are second and third order effects that are more than just you getting through a construction zone. Doing what you propose exacerbates the problem and causes many issues while solving none.

In a vacuum, yes cutting is wrong. In the real world on the road (not getting school lunch) condensing traffic closer to the merge point is not cutting. You may think me an impolite asshole, but your notions of principal are idiotic and counterproductive.

The only thing I can add to this thread after reading through all the posts is Epstein didn't kill himself.

The story confuses me as well. If you're both stopped at a light and he gunned it, and your vehicle is slow as shit, why would he need to go double the speed limit to get ahead of you? And how could he have possibly cut you off?
