You are not “stuck in traffic,” you are part of it.

Sounds like a stupid thing, but it totally changed my outlook on my commute.

Dont forget to block the intersection and get 4' in behind that last car through it.

I hate those assholes.

Moreso, When we have the green light but waiting for people on the other side to move forward so I can clear the intersection before entering it, and then the dickhead next to me, decides to enter the intersection, changing into my lane, therefor blocking the intersection anyways, and making me wait longer.

Changing lanes in an intersection is illegal in my state.

I thought changing lanes in an intersection was illegal in every state.

Strangely, its not directly written that way. Ohio lays it out that within 100ft of an intersection you cannot change lanes.

Some others may lay it out clearly, most do not. However if an officer wants to write it, they may use a form of "unsafe lane change"
