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?

LOL! We were soooooooooooo close to this thread dying an overdue old age death and this post comes along and hits the rewind button back to around post #2. What the hell have you done?

Now someone has to step in and call you a douche bag, you have to return the favor, 6 dozen others have to take sides and @Klaus has to step in and talk everyone off the ledge.

Love this place!

I would like to clarify my position: I hate the people who don’t merge when there is a line of cars who got over in the correct lane. If two cars reach a red light and the lanes merge after, and one give it the beans to accelerate and merge in front of the other car..... no big deal.

I'm stirring the pot. It had settled to a slow simmer.

What a pointless thread. Guy gets on the forum to whine about his wife getting whomped on or “cut off” while driving a slow car. Pretty pathetic.
It’s been documented that people who quote their own posts have mental illness.

I’ve got the phone number of a good doc who helped me. PM for details.

People like that bother us all. But, we aren't going to teach anyone any type of lesson by preventing them from merging over. Drivers like that don't stop being idiots.

My advice to the OP is, just let it go. What difference will it make 10 years from now? We all know what people are going to do when we line up with them before a lane merge. I drive through 3 every morning on my way to my office. I see people, who hate their jobs, hate working and will drive like an ancient roman chariot death race to get to a job they hate.

Imagine the stress you put on your body and mind preparing yourself to prevent them from doing what they do. Is it worth that? Next time, notice how hard you grip the steering wheel when locked in a dead heat race to a lane merge.

I promise you, Karma will find its way to them one day. Get a dash cam and enjoy. I caught a lady passing a school bus today while stopped. People are idiots. Especially when we get in a car.

Do you know why drivers "Zip" - because we have enabled them to do so. When someone puts on a turn signal, drivers speed up to prevent it. For no reason. When people try to get in behind you, people slow down just to be an inconvenience. So, now everyone stops using turn signals to alert drivers what they plan to do. They just do it.

Chill out. Take life easy. Worry about your driving. Dont worry how or what someone else is going to do.

Last night leaving work I found myself at a stop light in the merge lane of a 2 lane on ramp. Traffic was heavy and I didn’t want to get hung out to dry, so I glanced over at the car to my left to see what I was up against. Answer: Prius
I planned to accelerate briskly, but not wide open, to get ahead and considered the possibility that the Prius may try to throw a block. The light goes green and he immediately mats it to get ahead. I decided to pace him door to door for a few seconds and saw him glance over at me several times. To him, it was on!
I let her eat a few hundred yards from where the lanes converge, put my signal on, and politely changed lanes 4-5 car lengths ahead of him. Homey was pissed, and that made my night.

Don’t get me wrong - he’d still have been behind me if roles were reversed. Lol

I would use that situation to practice my reaction skills and launch every time. How could you not? So much at stake.

I seriously considered it, and probably would have if I was against a more worthy foe.
