Lane closed ahead, most drivers are moving to the open lane in advance EXCEPT for the entitled arse that has to run up the closed lane to get in front of everyone slowing down the flow of traffic. And yes, I am one of those blocking that lane because I am in just as much of a hurry as you! And if you do get around me you will not get directly in front of me! Rant over.... Texas Dept of Trans says this is the proper way to do this. You're supposed to go all the way to the end of the lane and zipper over (every other car). To move over before the lane ends isn't using all the available highway space and actually makes the backup worse. http://www.tdtnews.com/news/article_df1392ee-e2a7-11e6-88fa-8bd183f450db.htmlThat is just one article that describes it. There are lots of them. So what pushes my road rage button?? The guy in the truck that tries to block the lane instead of letting everyone merge correctly. it does not work like this EVER i don't care what they write it would be fine if it was a true, smooth "zipper" merge but that doesn't happen, they race all the way up to the barricades and then cut in causing the cars in the open lane to stop When I see people doing it properly, slowly merging in smoothly well before the barricades and not causing everyone to slam on their brakes....I always back off and let them in... keep up the good work

Approaching a red light. Left lane already has a car waiting. Idiot in front of me gets into the right lane to be first in line. Im trying to turn right on red but cant now because youre in front of me trying to go straight. This... I would love to shove thier entitled azz out in the intersection and proceed with my turn. OTOH I have had some folks in front of me that noticed my right turn signal who moved left a lane so I cout go right on red. Those folks get a five finger salute.

It gets jammed up. I know youre trolling. Have to be.

Speeding in a school zone. If a kid gets hit (god forbid), I secretly hope it is theirs. (Several things to comment on all of these posts) I do not want kids to be hit either but WHERE ARE THESE KIDS YOU SPEAK OF? The schools around me don't have any kids walking or riding their bikes to school. NEVER, EVER. They arrive to school in an SUV with a hovermom(dad) and get dropped off at the front of the school where they are chaperoned inside. There are no painted crosswalks. There are no crossing guards. There is a trailer directly across the street from the junior high where a girl gets picked up by a bus!

1) People that don't use their turn signal until they start turning. 2) People that speed up to keep you from merging into their lane. 3) People that block 10 people from turning right because they had to get into the right lane. I also blame DAs that design roads without right turn lanes. 4) People that want to run you over because you are only doing 75 in a 65. 5) DAs texting on their phones at red lights. Then, when the light turns green, they are still sitting there. You give them a soft toot on the horn and they flip you off, like you're doing something wrong. 6) Women eating froot loops while driving. That should be punishable by death.

I have no idea what planet you zipper proponents live. It sure isn't Earth. I have never seen it in action. I love it when truckers block off the self absorber drivers.

There is a trailer directly across the street from the junior high where a girl gets picked up by a bus! Kid in my daughter's school got run over crossing the street last fall. brother & sister were walking to school, truck turned right at a red light, no doubt looking back to the left to check for oncoming traffic, kids crossed to the right, had a walk sign. Girl pushed her little brother out of the way, truck ran her clean over, crushed her pelvis, she still ain't right. Next block down had a crossing guard. The accident wasn't caused by speeding, but man it is super super sad when a kid does get hit. maybe in your neighborhood the kids don't walk, but all over dallas tons of kids walk/ride themselves to school.

I dont like people who have out of state plates and people who put their naked feet on the dash board.
