in the process, i watched 3 people come to a dead stop, get out, and offer to fight the person trying to merge in/around them, and 2 other people that would wildly serve at any merging-lane-blockers...

traffic finally merged, but then no one wanted to observe fast/slow lane discipline, and then clogged up the road behind 2 people that wanted to do 50mph side by side. for 20 miles..

people are their own worst enemy.
I drove to NH and did not have that experience. Only got cut off twice. The inevitable line in the left lane was going 60mph in a 65 though.

But yes, aggressive and selfish people are just stupid.
