If people are going to clog up the left lane, i'm going to undertake. I have actual video footage of people moving out of the left lane when I approach them, without honking or flicking my brights at them. I might have to post it when I get back home.

nitrogen posted:If people are going to clog up the left lane, i'm going to undertake. Yeah, we're always interested in quality CGI work. I end up undertaking just about every time I get on the freeway anymore, because it's either 1) impossible to move left and pass due to slowboats, 2) possible but inadvisable due to clearly-visible behavior, or 3) possible but I'd be darting in and out of the passing lanes like a game of Frogger or something. (I'm mildly curious as to how many of these dildos are the ones merging onto the freeway at 35-40 MPH max, but not curious enough to stand on the brakes and match speed or follow along.) I do skip undertaking in some instances, though...

I saw a good one the other day coming home from work. I'm cruising along, traffic is moving at posted speeds and I see a UHAUL van coming up behind me. Dude is straddling two lanes while coming up on me very fast. As he gets closer, he's drifting into my lane until he's right up on my rear end. For a brief moment, I thought I would tap on my brakes to let him know he's too close and by the time I decide to do it, the guy is now probably 3-4 feet from me and starting to drift into the lane to my right. I decided to speed up as I watch him push the guy to my right out of his lane and attempt to pass between us. This movement all seemed very uncontrolled and not really aggressive because he never really seemed to slow down. When the car next to me swerved to get out of his way, I see the guy behind me "look up" like he'd been asleep the whole time. At this point, he slowed waaay down and stuck to the lane to my left. About half a mile down the freeway, I can see that he's probably 10-15 car lengths behind me. Good, he probably wasn't paying attention and now he's got the van under control. Nope. Traffic came to a stop and I watched him without braking, slam into a landscaping truck/trailer two lanes to my left. Just launches on top of the landscaping trailer. Poor guy riding in the bed of the pickup looked like he was going to poo poo himself. There was a cop a ways back that saw the whole thing and was on the scene within a minute. I pulled over to give a statement about his reckless driving moments before and the cop told me he didn't need it because he saw the whole thing. I asked him if the guy was drunk the cop said, "nah, just tired and playing on his phone". How important is the thing on your phone that you need to take your eyes off of the road for 5-10 seconds at a time? That's the only scenario I can think of to replicate what drunk people do while blacked out behind the wheel.

Had to yell at a middle aged woman in traffic today because the light turned green, the line of cars ahead of us went, but she was apparently taking selfies. In the car. While driving. In traffic. She flipped me off because I was clearly responsible.

Holy poo poo! http://kgab.com/six-dead-in-crash-near-cody/ People talk about Wyoming highway fatalities because we have so few people, but the number is misleading because our population is artificially doubled often by travelers. That is why you will always notice it is visitors that get creamed.

A typical scenario: I am properly using the left lane to pass. Someone comes flying up behind me while I am passing. As I complete the pass and signal to move back right when I am a safe distance ahead of the car in the right lane, fuckhead behind me decides to shoot the gap. Do I keep moving right and have him rear end me? Or swerve back left and yell "holy poo poo!"

No, the PT driver panicked and lost control in a situation that could have been easily averted by just applying the brakes.

As I complete the pass and signal to move back right when I am a safe distance ahead of the car in the right lane, fuckhead behind me decides to shoot the gap. This is always a tricky situation from both sides, because some people are impatient fuckers who'll shoot the gap the second they have the space to do so, but at the same time from the rear car perspective I've encountered a lot of drivers who seem to think that they need to give enough space for a full length semi truck to fit before moving over, or clearly don't think about moving over until they realize they're about to get passed on the right. The best thing to do if you're the front car in this situation is to just use your signal to make it clear that you intend to move over as soon as you've completed the pass safely, then actually do it. If I'm passing and have someone who clearly wants to pass me show up in the process I put my blinker on pretty much the second the rear of my car is clear of the traffic I'm passing, then get a car length or two before actually moving over. If they're too impatient to wait they'll generally shoot the gap before I've started moving over, but most get the idea and let me get out of their way. Either way I now have a "rabbit" in front of me who'll attract the attention of revenue enforcement.

I do that too, but I've had my fair share of idiots who still try to shoot the gap as soon as there is barely enough space. Hopefully they'll get caught pulling that poo poo on an unmarked police car some day.

I agree with this. The only problems I've seen has been when the person in front doesn't signal their lane change or only signals halfway through the move. The person behind them jerks back into the left lane or the lead does the same, or they both jerk back and it becomes an even bigger miscommunication. I'm not saying this is the lead car's fault, just that the impatient person following them generally will not make the more dangerous undertake move if the lead car signals their intent to get out of the way.

If someone is hauling rear end up on me as I am passing (amazingly, this does happen) I am signaling as soon as I pull even with the car I'm passing, just so they know I'm aware of them and moving over as soon as possible. I watch my mirrors carefully while passing, and also while being passed. I've had cops fly up on me and did exactly the same thing, they didn't pull me over or even hit the blues to get past me, but had used the blues to move the guy behind me over and did it to the next guy in front of me too. And yes, I then follow whoever passed me at lightspeed, between idiot radar sponges and Waze I haven't been surprised by a radar trap in two years

xzzy posted:Is your uncle white haired? Does he have a barn? I never understood in that song why they started making the cars so large but then didn't update the infrastructure (single lane bridge) to accommodate. I was just thinking it'd be nice for all the autonomous cars forcing themselves to follow at a safe enough to brake at high speeds distance, so manual drivers could cut through any lane anytime. Then I remembered minority report where they all just move close together in flawless synergy. I assume I'll be dead long before then.

I'm the person you're stuck in traffic behind. I'm in Boston this week, and yesterday, I was at one of these crazy 8 way boston intersections with 6 different lights. I'm watching 5 of those lights, and they are all red. I hear honking, and i'm wondering "what the gently caress?" I look over to the right, and there's yet another light I didn't see, and it's green. gently caress driving in Boston.
