FogHelmut posted:Typical around here These fuckers don't even try to move into the lane as much as possible. He could have cranked that wheel and put most of his truck into the turn lane but no, he barely gets in and hangs his rear end out half in the lane because he apparently wants to get rear ended.

A car broke down, on an on ramp, not even past the merge point. This is also an on ramp used exclusively by an industrial district and has virtually no traffic. 3 lanes of the highway, plus an additional lane for the last couple hundred feet of the on ramp came to a dead stop. The idiots were so determined to all cram I into the far left lane people were stopping sideways across lanes of traffic. It was as if the stranded car had herpes or something, nobody wanted to drive within 30 feet of the car. The highway ended up backing up for 2 miles, all because of a single broken down car that wasn't even legally on the highway yet. I could understand if it was like on fire or even had an ambulance or signs of an accident, but nope, someone probably just ran out of gas or had a similar non violent failure. I despise the

Yeah, that type of behavior always amazes me. You are sitting in a jam for a while. Then when you coast by it is something like you said. Guess herd mentality.

People here routinely slow down and even occasionally pull over for emergency vehicles coming the other way. On divided highways.

This week I had a two-mile backup on my normally uncongested trip to work, because of a smashed up Smart Car on the OTHER SIDE of the tollway. Not a thing wrong with any of the northbound lanes but gosh we gotta slow down and look at it

I sat in four hours of backed up highway traffic before cause some citizen police had us all stuck in 1 lane miles before the three lanes merged to one. Very frustrating

If you're in the carpool lane, and you're being passed by people not in the carpool lane, get the gently caress out of the carpool lane. This especially applies to school buses.

To their credit, they didn't stop in the middle of a busy highway to look at their fender bender. Unrelated, but you ever have one of those days where you have to get out and check that your signal lights are still working?

None the less, I still check my signals and headlights now and then. I use the neighbor's bumper like a mirror while I buckle up.

The correct way to announce and be understood in your desire to shift lanes is to slowly and erratically drift back and forth over the line a few times, if drivers in my area are indicative

A left merge also indicates the drive could have been checking over his or her shoulder for a clear lane, just took too long to do it.

Don't forget randomly attempting to merge into the side of your car before veering back into their own lane at least once.

Very frustrating God these people are insufferable. People are dumb and not using all the lanes to prevent traffic from backing up too much (and making it all take longer), but people who block lanes are even worse.

On the one hand, gently caress people who do that. On the other, what exactly did he do to get pulled over? Unfortunately such behavior isn't illegal as far as I know.

It looked like it was because of the "drifting around the lanes" thing they were doing.

There are only 2 seasons in the Chicago Metropolitan Area: Winter and construction. Also, as an honest question, does anyone else use the term "Gapers'" outside of the Chicago area? I'm genuinely curious.

Gaper is a skier term too, for the clueless beginner with a huge gap between their ill-fitting helmet and goggles.
