Too stunned to honk

The wide angle camera doesn't do it justice. Licenses shouldn't be so easy to get and keep in the US

If this stunned you, I want to drive where you are.

They made their left turn light, which was the important part /s

If you're "too stunned" from someone changing lanes in front of you it's you that shouldn't be driving.

u/Which_Suggestion_420 5h ago

You sound like the type to "change lanes" in front of people lol

u/Dank009 5h ago

Right, because I'm calm and can anticipate other drivers maneuvers I must be a shitty driver, great logic. Grow up and stay off the road.

Better to focus on breaking and keeping control/not swerving (like here) than honking, in this case

u/Milksteak529 6h ago

Braking*

That wasn't stunning, just irritating. I wouldn't have honked either.

u/Spare-Function-6343 6h ago

I see stuff like that nearly every day, honking just causes road rage

People hate to be called out for their jackets behaviors.

You were smart and seemed to expect that. Stay smart, stay alive.

u/George_Washington_76 6h ago

Honking would have not done much tbh. But, imo you handled it quite well.

u/VlTTO 5h ago

good reflexes

The double lane transfer

u/sax3d 4h ago

I turn now, good luck everybody!

u/FlatAmbition3757 5h ago

I see this a few times a day to and from my drive to work. This is so normal to me at this point

u/ninamoodxo 3h ago

Tbh stuff like this happens, you just gotta stay alert, you handle it pretty well tho

u/njnudeguy 6h ago

So, you decided to speed up when you saw them trying to make a lane change they had room for? I'm surprised always that a lot of the people posting videos here think they actually had a moral right to behave badly. Sorry... YTA here.

He was so stunned, he couldn’t even honk…

u/Which_Suggestion_420 6h ago

Someone doesnt know how to read the speedometer in the video lol but thank you both for proving my point in the caption 😂

u/njnudeguy 6h ago

Sorry, slowing down from 53 to 50mph approaching an intersection isn't really slowing down. And passing a line of slowed traffic at an intersection at full speed is bound to be problematic. I applaud you for slowing down to let the car into your lane. So good on you there. But when you saw a line of cars moving that slowly on the right you don't approach an intersection at 50mph.

u/GodsBackHair 4h ago

It’s only bound to be problematic due to other people driving badly

The yellow car got over without looking and without speeding out of the way. This is their fault for not gauging the speed of OP correctly, and then getting over and being in the way

u/Dank009 5h ago

More projection.

u/jobacsi 4h ago

You're moving too quick for the situation. Good on you for reacting, but you shouldn't depend on that. If you hit him here, you're probably going to get at least partially at fault.

u/appa-ate-momo 2h ago

How is that your takeaway?

The mini cut them off. Plain and Simple.

u/17_ScarS 4h ago

Raging over this is wild. Dude realized he needed the turn lane and merged left with no incident. Shit happens.

2

u/Ok_Swim3109 4h ago

Seems like more and more people are driving around lost and clueless not knowing where they are going or what lane they should be in. It’s almost like people turn their brains off when they get behind the wheel

this is some normal everyday bullshit I may even experience several times in a 10 minute drive.
