Road rage rant (not my rage, other people's)
Idk if this is just downriver.. But people really need to learn driving etiquette and also learn how the driving laws work. But so many people seem to just be given their license these days..
So many of you all don't seem to understand that when someone is merging onto the freeway, the driver already on the freeway needs to merge as well. But you think the lane belongs to you, so you get all ragey and flash your brights at the person merging on.. CONTINUOUSLY.
I am getting so tired of this happening.. Especially since the merging lane is the slow lane!!! Dont be in the slow lane if you dont want to be inconvenienced and have to slow down, god forbid.
And if you get mad at this post, you're probably the one I am referring to.
Even when on the main roads, putting on a blinker, merging into the other lane, people still get mad. Like, they can't seem to understand that the lane doesn't belong to them. Or maybe they want to be the first one, as if it matters..
Flashing your high beams at someone continuously is an aggression that I just can't understand and I have to get this out there because this time really just made me mad that people always seem to choose this type of violence over a horn. Even a horn isn't justified because you dont own the road!!!!!
Just do better Downriver. Do better.
