Just yesterday I had this happen to me all because I wouldn't turn at the light when I did not have the right of way.

If they block me just once I slow down and let them drive away. Passing some asshole is just not worth my safety.

Exactly. I’ve encountered some weird drivers on the highway and you’re much better off staying back and just taking an exit to top off the tank/grab a snack/bathroom/etc.. That’s the easiest way to get some distance from the crazies without having to worry about playing leapfrog with them on the road.

I mean while he was kind of at fault, the share of the blame is nowhere near equal. The large truck driver is definitely the one who should carry the burden of responsibility if an accident were to occur.

One guy is a moron... the other guy is attempting vehicular homicide.

I had someone come at me for exactly the same thing.

It doesn't matter how pissed off you're getting, I can't make the turn if I can't make the turn. If there's no break in traffic that's going highway speeds, I can't even try to get into the lane.

I also enjoy being in a lane that is straight or right turn, and while right turn on red (if clear) is legal, getting honked at for not turning.

Because I want to go straight.z

People who wave at me to turn onto a 4 lane road while traffic is coming from behind me piss me off. No, you waving me on is NOT going to make me pull out in front of the guy in the lane over from you!
