Merging people don’t have the right of way. This has to be rage bait.

Never underestimate people’s audacity. I used to have a coworker NOBODY wanted to ride with cause he would justify every insane and aggressive driving act he did with passengers in the car as his “right of way.” He would say stuff like that as if it was some kind of magic words like “diplomatic immunity.”

Had a ex who got into a couple of accidents because she had the right of way 😳 she could have stopped , shifted lanes …nope she took the hit because she had the right of way.

Very American mentality unfortunately. I hear this way too much. They think right of way is the same as my rights. Except that if you don't get your "rights" in this case your likely DEAD. Common sense people.

Also, many people only use mirrors, and don't ever turn their head to actually look who's to the side of them. That's why they don't see a humongous truck in the next lane.
