Why do people entering the freeway try to make you move out of the lane so they can enter the lane ? It is the job of the person entering the freeway to adjust their speed to enter the flow of traffic! It is not my job to move for you,! Idiots! THen if you dont go fast enough in the fast lane you were forced into, some jackass will drive 2 feet from your back bumper, Can't any one just drive the posted speed?

No I am not an ahole driver, I drive for a living,and am as courtious as possible, and I try to stay in the middle lane if there is one. It's the morons who put no thought or planning into what they are doing, they dont look ahead, and see the situation, they just blindly forge forward and make other people move, because they cant plan ahead. And where are the cops when these tailgating freaks who have to do 90, because they cant get up on time, or just have to be first? I always laugh at them because they go flying by, endangering everyone else, and then I see them stopped at the same stoplight as me a mile up the road, Wow!, they really saved themselves some time!

I think a lot of people can't read (even numbers) and just don't care.
Like today in a school 20 mile an hour zone. Im going 35 and the lady behind me is honking like crazy. LOL so what did I do, slow down.

Actually, here in the State of California, the DMV defines merging as the only time when two vehicles BOTH have the right of way. So technically, it isn't solely (or even primarily) the job of the driver entering the stream of traffic to adjust - it's both driver's responsibility to cooperate.
Admittedly, I know exactly what you mean...many times the guy merging onto the freeway blithely assumes he's just going to power in however he chooses and everyone else has to accomodate.
But by the letter of the vehicle code, it's a cooperative thing.

Actually, I think its common courtesy to move into the passing (left lane) when approaching an on-ramp with people trying to get on to allow them to enter. You do not have to adjust your speed if you are not in the lane they are entering. This really only applies if there is not heavy traffic.
I am guessing you are one of those ****** drivers, who only think of themselves on the road. Yes, people do need to quickly adjust their speed once they enter the lane but not every car on the road is capable of doing so as fast as you would like.
Learn some patience and think of others when you are driving. Doesn't it suck when you sit at the entrance of an on-ramp and every car is traveling in the right lane and not in the left? You can't get out and nobody moves over for you to get on. Put yourself in their shoes.

I LOVE it even more when the car entering the highway MUST get into the high speed lane immediately.
Of course the cars travelling in the right hand lane don't always make it easy either. They should be leaving adequate room between them and the car in front of them, and often don't.

Well sometimes in heavy traffic you can't merge by adjusting your speed. It's common curtesy to move over to the left lane to allow a vehicle to merge into your lane.

A lot of people driving around out there these days can't read English...
What did you expect? Most of them aren't from around here...
I live in NJ - the rest of the drivers just plain don't care!
