But sure, you are entitled to have this opinion.

I'll stick to the method that is safe, efficient, and recommended by traffic engineers. You may call me an asshole, I don't care. I will just sigh and think "yet another driver who hasn't been taught how to drive properly". And drive around you to merge in the correct spot.


If you block me on purpose, I'll back off and think "yet another aggressive idiot", as I always do when I encounter people who try to "teach a lesson" on the road.

BTW, recently I don't see those bus drivers blocking the right lane. Maybe someone called WMATA and they explained to the drivers what's correct. Maybe the drivers were from CO and needed some tutoring.


You must not be picturing what I am describing.
Two lanes merging, both lanes have merged already] and are moving along nicely (the proper zipper merge has already WORKED).
Now you decide you don't want to wait in line and pass all those cars moving at 5 MPH at 30 MPH on the right right up to the barrier and THEN ask to be let in.


No it is a fact, IF you do this YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE. There is no debate.
If you feel differently you are not understanding the situation I am describing.
