I was coming home from my office, for reference its a 4 lane road that turns into a 2 lane road by the hill. As I come up to the hill the lanes merge and I check my mirrors as always, all i see is an Armada about 1.5 car lengths behind me. A split second later I see this little corolla trying to muscle his way in at the last second, but the Nissan doesn’t give ground. At this point its a 2 lane road, the corolla decides to go on the opposite lane and pulls along side the Armada, meanwhile I’m still seeing all this in my mirrors and then spot a car coming down the hill into this moron. I lay on the horn, the car coming down the hill narrowly misses this dumb ass, the corolla floors it, almost clips the Nissan and falls in line then promptly brake checks the Armada. At this point, I slowed down to get a look at his plate and call the cops. I tell them whats going on, meanwhile the corolla has slowed to say ~30mph, I come to a light some 250 feet ahead, make a turn, he FLIES by me with the Armada right on his ass.

I really hope theres a cop on that road who can intervene before it gets any worse.

Gee if only there was some way to know who’s supposed to yield when the road narrows like that. Some sort of universally adopted and understood (so as to prevent disagreements that can  escalate into stupidity) -oh, what’s the term- “right-of-way”?

The luck of assholes runs out eventually. Here’s hoping it doesn’t involve someone else when it happens.

I constantly see near-accidents here:

Kinja'd!!!

People are distracted by the light on the busy road, get to the sudden (and unsigned) merge, and just assume they have right away and merge without seeing if it is safe.

Adding insult to injury, I can’t see any reason for the merge, the road remains four lanes wide, and the lane immediately restarts as a left-turn only lane, so why not just left people going left continue straight instead of merging and then unmerging.

A sign or two would sure help, but yeah I don ’t understand why they would paint it like that either . It’s telling everyone who need s to make a left turn up ahead that they need t o merge right briefly first, before merging into back into the left turn lane. There shouldn’t be any need for that.
