Topic: Rants
Can someone please explain to me what is so hard about merging? I just don't understand why people can't get the concept.
If there are two lanes and one is closing a half mile down the way, by all means, merge into the thru lane RIGHT AWAY and leave that closing lane void of cars for a half mile. Or better yet, put on your turn signal (it's the polite thing to do) and stop traffic behind you while you wait for someone in the now congested thru lane to let you in. And hey, you know what? This could serve as a perfect opportunity to teach a lesson in MN nice to all of those cars beind you that have people in them who know how to merge properly.
And for you passive/aggressive MN nicers, it is extremely helpful when you position your car in both lanes so that no one can get past you. NOT!
What about me you ask? Well, I'm not originally from MN and I DO know how to merge, so this is one lesson in MN nice I will skip every time. I'll be the one zipping down that half mile stretch and merging where I'm supposed to...guilt-free and 20 cars in front of you :-)
