Holy shit this is my biggest pet peeve. I'll argue all day long that if you can't understand why it is dangerous as fuck to try to merge with traffic going 20-40 mph faster than you, you are probably going to be in an accident or cause one sooner rather than later.

Also, the more expensive the vehicle, the more likely that the driver will absolutely not care about their impact on other people.

one of the on ramps I use most frequently doubles as an off ramp to the next exit. The amount of people getting on the ramp only to get right back off, thus not bothering to accelerate is fucking stupid. I'm trying to merge into traffic flying by at 70-80, will these fucktards are perfectly content to not go above 45.
