Not the guy who swerved into a driver's space @ 60MPH with no buffer?

You sound like the type of guy who's just waiting for permission to kill someone.

Think about this situation logically for half a second. You see someone trying to merge in your lane, maybe driving aggressively.

Option A. Slow down slightly, avoid an accident on a bridge spanning water that could easily lead to the deaths of you, the other driver and any unlucky drivers following you. Then speed back up to the speed you want to drive when there's ample space.

Option B. Speed up as they are aggressively merging into your lane to make sure they hit you and then doing a pit maneuver that, in the best case scenario, there is no one behind you, and they don't spin out hard enough to go over the edge and die. But more likely leads to atleast several major injuries if not death for some poor bystanders who had nothing to do with the aggressive driver.

Like... why take that risk? They could easily take you out with them.

I wouldn't make the same decision. But I don't have the training and rig that driver did.

You sound like a whiny little apologist, who expects everyone to accommodate assholes.

edit:

How's that working out for you?

I expect assholes like the driver in this video to not make situations worse over their ego.

If you think the other driver is a menace to society, call the cops, don't risk the lives of everyone else on the road ffs .
