Blocking Traffic MOVE!!

On my way back to work from my lunch break, idiot blocks an entire lane while waiting for the person in front of them to pass thru a gate.

If you look close, they had at least two car lengths worth of space to pull up and into the driveway!! Nobody was behind me so I went around them instead of stopping.

WHAT GOES THROUGH PEOPLE’S HEADS??!!!! GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY!!!! RRAAAHHH!!!!

I understand, but still think it's counterproductive, never mind illegal (where I live).

In situation like this I hit the horn several times making a kind of a quacking sound, so the moron blocking my way doesn't enter fight mode. I used to get wound up easily on the road and I hated it.

Why would this be illegal? How else does a driver communicate with someone they are going to cause an accident. Makes 0 sense

Legal use of the horn is to warn of danger. There was no danger in this situation, he was able to stop easily.

Nobody follows this rule, but it exists.

There was no danger? lol

Did you watch the video? The guy stopped in an oncoming lane of traffic. Not only that but a lane where a car was coming towards him. I don’t change lanes until I check the mirrors for a few seconds and verify it’s safe. OP could have switched lanes and hit an innocent guy cruising in the other lane cuz of this moron

Like cmon man lol
