My motto in traffic is "Yield." There are too many hotheads driving, and many of them are armed. We had two local brothers shot and killed years ago over a tailgating incident. The shooter was "justified."
Good motto. What an awful incident!

Think about THAT next time someone cuts you off in traffic!

You've all seen this situation. Two lanes are merging into one at a construction area - left to right. While you are sitting there in the right lane, dozens of cars are speeding by in the left lane. In a few minutes, they will try to cut into the line up ahead. If they didn't do that, there would not be much of a delay when merging lanes. ....
I asked a traffic engineer about this situation once. He said people should try to get the lanes as equal as possible and then alternate (i.e., zipper) merge at the spot where one of the lanes discontinues. This avoids a lengthy backup in the continuing lane while the discontinuing lane stays empty for an 8th of a mile. Unfortunately, there's rarely any signage about this, and even where there is, I've still seen people try to butt in right after the car ahead instead of alternating. It does take cooperation, and there's not much of that on the road these days. However, blocking people from trying to equal the lanes and alternate merge is not helpful and just invites road rage.

Realizing that there would be many photographs of the historic total eclipse, I wanted to photograph the people who were watching the eclipse. Here are some of my images from the event. I use two, NIKON Z9, with a 24-70 2.8 S and 70-200mm 2.8 S, ISO 100, various F stops.
You had some very interesting people around you! Very creative point of view!
