Try to switch lanes in crowded traffic

I think it also reminds them that they're going slow and might have been dozing off and not paying attention to their speed.

>going slow in front of the twisties to make sure there's room
>right before them I get passed
>guy takes the turns at 20mph

>person in front goes decent speed on straights
>ends up slowing down on curves and up hills

It's like you don't want to keep your momentum and like wasting time speeding back up

> Multiane road

>the fucker then decides to decelerate so my merge becomes even more difficult and awkward

Why do people feel the need to do this? I think once people know they're in your way they feel entitled to take as much time as they can. Same thing when you're waiting for someone to move out of a parking space.

This desu
What makes me mad is.that I always signal unlike every other nigger that does this
I signal early and often so the faggot can see I need to switch lanes, then they don't let you in like wtf

So much this. I literally had to go 20 over when the road widened to include a passing lane, just to pass a few cars. And then everyone slows down to 5 under when the passing lane goes away. Seriously what the fuck.

>Letting people merge

If you sit back and let someone merge, you actually make traffic work. Faggots who give tons of space between them and the traffic in front of them think they're making things better, but you're not.

I leave tons of space cause there's almost always a tailgater right behind me. Faggots who leave no space make everything much worse.

This. Any kind of lane changing makes traffic worse. Especially when speed isn't matched before merging.

>at red light
>trucker pulls up next to me
>on green he slams on the pedal to get ahead of me, knowing there's a merge down to one lane ahead
>I don't think so Tim
>I speed up and easily overtake in my smaller, faster car

Of course when it got down to one lane he was just cruising under the limit. I had no interest in staring at the back of a truck for several miles instead of the nice open road which is why I did what I did.

>OP tries that
>the people in front block him out too and he's forced to make a turn he doesn't want

If your turn signal is on I'll let you in. If it's not I'll cuck you fuckboi

>try to change lanes
>fucking RETARD next to me is matching my speed
EVERY FUCKING TIME
SO IM INDICATING AND IM SLOWING DOWN THAT DOESNT MEAN SLOW DOWN TOO YOU STUPID CUNT

>some guy slams on the brakes, turns into a side street
>then indicates
>meanwhile behind him traffic is backed up because 5 people also had to slam on the brakes

You are not entitled to speed. The speed limit is there for a reason.

Sometimes poeple behind me honk when i let others merge infront of me.

I have to routinely honk the horn in Canada because cunts here treat the merge as a yield sign.

KYS

...

It's perfectly legal to prevent people from merging in Ontario even if you're exceeding the posted speed limit or slowing down impeding traffic behind you to make it happen. I've seen a ton of people who've gotten fucked over by this after an accident because the other person attempted to make them crash by not letting them in. The person trying to merge is expected to either stop or turn if it becomes a turning lane. If they're driving too fast to do either safely in an attempt to counter it it's still 100% the merging person's fault.

That's only one of the deadly yet perfectly legal maneuvers in Ontario that people exploit all the time to get insurance money and be justified in being assholes.

>why are sophisticated monkeys territorial?
idk man

>even canada's laws are full of shitpost
fucking leafs

That's not the half of it

>road markings have absolutely no legal significance and it's perfectly legal to drive on the wrong side of the road in all circumstances and you only have to be in your lane when "the driver is under the impression that there is other traffic around that driving on the wrong side of the road may affect"
>double yellows have no legal significance and not only is it legal to pass on them in all circumstances but if someone is turning left across them into a driveway they have to yield to the person passing into the oncoming lane
>it's perfectly legal to remove turn signals (hand signals can be used instead) and remove brake lights in a vehicle (all that's required of the latter is that little light at the top of the window or whatever) and turn signals are not required to be used unless "the driver is under the impression that their maneuver may affect traffic around them"
>you are legally required to merge into your adjacent lane when making a turn through an intersection despite that making it impossible to enter some driveways that are placed too close to the intersection and you're expected to haphazardly do so even when traffic you're facing is turning onto the same road because they're expected to merge into they're adjacent lane as well
>if your adjacent lane is clear when pulling out of a driveway on a multi-lane road you are required to make your turn but people in the other lane are allowed to change lanes and overtake in that space and are at no fault when they change lanes into you
>it is legal to change lanes through intersections resulting in the same situation when someone pulls out
>failure to move out of someone's way if you're in the left lane even if they're exceeding the speed limit to a high enough degree that they're committing the offense of Stunt Driving is Careless Driving on your behalf with harsher penalties than the former

Each one of these situations I've described I've seen exploited by some asshole who got off scot-free and had the other person charged with careless driving. I'd leave this shithole if I wasn't planning on basically starting a revolution to fix this shit and countless other things related to traffic law when I have the experience, money and connections.

Imagine this, but the guy on the inside lane went straight while I was making the outside lane turn, nearly hit the fucker and he was going pretty fast too

you're going to have to assert yourself. and if you're smart like me, you'll mostly stay behind or infront of the pack.

Works every single time.

Almost always happens whenever you do it to some retard who thinks they have some hotshit speed machine like a new mustang

>Bumper to bumper rush hour
>stoplight just after railroad crossing
>at the marker so I'm not sitting on the track like retard
>eveyone else isn't
>tfw I know that even if a train did come I wouldn't be hit but the idiots on tracks who jumped out of their vehicle are going to come flying into me when they get hit

>not intentionally suppressing their speed using their subconscious mind

All you have to do is match their speed side by side. They won't know what the fuck to do.

>>at the marker so I'm not sitting on the track like retard
>>eveyone else isn't
In rush hour traffic when I'm nearing the line, I like to leave a enough space for the car in front of me to be able to reverse back to safety, just in case they are stopped on the tracks and a train or lightrail is coming.
Once they pass the tracks and make it into that small 1-car space in between the pedestrian crosswalk and the tracks behind them, I move up.

Of course, I get honked at by cars (especially those SUVs and Cadillac Escalades). This move alone has actually helped prevent an accident in front of me 3 times so far.

If being honked at and being called a "retard" for not moving up is the price I pay to potentially save someone's car, and life, then so be it.

I'm a trucker. I.don't ever expect to win an acceleration race with a four wheeler ever. I'm thinking he was just trying to get his slow ass up to speed as fast as possible knowing that you'd have no problem running by him anyway. I very rarely feel the need.to beat a four wheeler and make a pass. When I do it's only cause they are driving like grandma.

>people who start beating their horns like drums when I stall at red lights
>all women in SUVs with nowhere absolutely important to go
>all the dudes, especially mid age and older dudes, understand when I stall and don't give me aggressive looks because they understand
even better when I end up next to another manual car. I promise I'm working out the final kinks to never stalling, but don't fucking ride my bumper on hills or start flooring the gas pedal when the light turns green, only makes me more nervous and hate the kinds of people who honk and give no leeway to beginners like me. And trust, there are certain types of people who specifically honk and get their blood boiling when I stall like I just killed their friend or something. Calm the fuck down people

You're inconvenient to time, get gud not on my time.
Also I know that feel user that feeling you stall is JUST

youtube.com/watch?v=kHR5RKBdwp0
:^)

also people who might notice my car is a manual and I'm obviously a beginner and still proceed to ride my bumper on a hill. Then wonder why my car is doing burnouts

How else am I going to improve without putting myself in these types of situations (traffic) and practicing? Me making you miss a green light is not going to ruin your fucking life or even day, you are still going to hit the same traffic as you were 3 mins ago had I not stalled and missed the light.

RREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

kek, i need to try this sometime in the highway

normies are tards

This is basically like those compilations of British people with dashcams, they sound their horn at anything that makes them even think of touching the brakes.

TL;DR people who have dashcams act like that

Sorry I said trucker but I meant guy in a pickup, not an actual semi. He was definitely trying to race me to the merger too.

This is why I've stopped using turn signals when changing lanes. Once someone sees it blinking, they proceed to close the gap.

Spotted the Californian

That's more a supersport rider mentality; they ride like absolute fucking idiots with a go-pro running at all times because they're just looking for something to throw a shitfit about

If you ever see someone unironically use the term "cager" they're this type of person

This. Remember ot have nothing but pure disdain for the scum sucking organ doners that use shibboleths like cager

necking all squids isn't even worth it since they're short for this world

Similar thing, except they're driving in cars and are British, so they say funnier insults

It was actually a really nice city to visit but holy fuck it was a nightmare to drive in.

>driver is behaving more than reasonably assuming other cars will be driving somewhere near the limit or under it
By this I mean if you're on a highway doing 80 in a 65 with traffic, a reasonable driver would expect people to do between 65-90ish, but even if they're going faster, it's easy to spot them because it's a large object

Somebody just please explain this logic to me

Oh
>and all the fucking honking

Yes but the SS riders are stupid while actively being reckless, British drivers are just stupid.

the bay area is basically a nightmare to anyone who isn't part of the ultra progressive or gay crowd

Who are more subhuman?

>Motorcyclists
>Cyclists
>Europeons

Can confirm. I don't really pay attention to my speed on the highway unless I'm passing people or people are passing me

The reason it was difficult to drive in has nothing to do with politics. Being progressive or gay has nothing to do with the anxiety I felt when a trucker or UPS driver decided to block a whole fucking lane so he can unload shit.

Willing to die for a hobby they love, I can respect that. The ones who are cancer are supersport riders who live their entire, short lives doing everything for attention; they'll ignore any traffic laws, ride incredibly dangerously and never admit responsibility for their own actions, however most of them are dead by 30 so it's fine. They seem to not understand the difference between acknowledging it's a dangerous hobby and having a deathwish
Faggot Harley riders who just do it to be in a clique are annoying but at least they tend to ride reasonably and aren't looking to start shit for no reason.

pic related

Going with yuros on this one.

are you me?

>Being retarded
You are only correct if the merging is unnecessary.
If a lane ends, or someone needs to exit. Keeping a space in front of you prevents traffic. Ideally a space in front and back is best.

Problem is assholes merge 2 at a time, or merge cause lol that lane is faster, when in standstill traffic 1 lane only moves faster due to retards moving to another lane.

>I tailgate and take it as a personal insult if somebody wants to merge in front of me
Unironically kill yourself. Common courtesy and reasonable following distances causes traffic, but apparently what doesn't is preventing people from changing lanes forcing them to jerk over in front of someone last second causing them to slam their brakes resulting in a chain reaction of brake slamming because a self-important autist who doesn't understand how traffic works thinks he's helping. If you legitimately think tailgating is helping with mitigating traffic then I cannot even put into words how fucking stupid you are.
This, if it's merging I'll back off and let -ONE- person in, keeping my car's front almost parallel to their rear so they know I'm letting them in. If a second cunt is trying to squeeze in and/or there's that one genius who speeds through the ending lane to get ahead of everybody then I'm going to tailgate the guy I let in to make sure the second car isn't rewarded for being an impatient twat who's essentially doing the driving equivalent of line cutting

>parallel to their rear
Not what I meant; I'll keep the front of my car about half a car length behind the rear of whoever is in the ending lane that I'm letting in front of me so they actually understand I'm letting them go. Zipper merging works extremely well when people are playing along but it only takes one dick being impatient to ruin it for everyone

>REASONS WHY PEOPLE WHO UPLOAD DASH-CAM FOOTAGE TO JEWTUBE ARE FUCKING HIPPICRITS WHO SHOULD FUCKING BURN

Like what the fuck, are you in a big fucking hurry to stop at the stoplight or something?

I don't know what you're talking about, I took a clover ramp at 75 no problem in a Chevy shitbox.

It was accidental, but it did it anyway.

Fuck people who don't know the most basic rules of the road. It's one thing if you lack the mechanics, but you shouldn't be allowed to play the game if you don't know the rules.

someday when I'm a cop I'll camp freeway onramps and destroy people entering the highway too slow.

the posty actually did things I didn't know a UPS truck could do... If I see that driver again I will definitely high five him

You'd make a killing in my city. One onramp to the expressway is so short that cars can only get up to 70km/h and trucks up to about 55km/h and are forced to merge into traffic that's doing 120 in the curb lane. It's the third most deadly spot in my whole city

gotta deliver the mail yo

This. I do them the courtesy of putting my signal for at least a few seconds before, sometimes forcibly, merging.

That was probably me. I was going about 90. Slammed on my brakes, too when I hit the exit because I was going so fast.
