On the Southern State:...
Cars are entering in moderate traffic.....
Moron in the right lane comes to a COMPLETE STOP to let a car enter the parkway...
Cars behind the moron slam brakes on and swerve...

It is not new. All the cheater needs is a slight gap, just enough to squeeze his/her front fender in front of yours. Now if you make contact you have hit them and you are at fault. They'll race ahead when a lane closed or merge sign appears appears. As one comedian derisively said years ago; "The time they save in traffic gives them time for one more drink."

When both lanes of traffic are moving at the speed limit, I have seen cars using the on-ramp merging lane to pass the two lead cars in the legal two lanes, YIKES!!!
I have also been passed on a wide shoulder when I was doing the speed limit.
It is no fun to look in your rearview and see a car approaching you from behind at 80+ mph, with a car beside you on the left, only to pass you on the shoulder at the last possible second.
Double Yikes,

It’s the same self importance mentality that cause some drivers to ignore Lane Closed signs and rush along the vacated lane to get to the point they have to merge into the lane of backed up traffic. I do appreciate the truckers that move to the blocked lane and pace their movement with the slow moving traffic to frustrate the line breakers. Although some of those self-important drivers will go around them on the shoulder at times.

I've seen that many times. Let me just say this; I never let them in.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Doing that just adds to the congestion. I see it all the time as well, but just shake my head and go on about my life…

When I taught in Flushing, Queens, I used to have to drive back to Rockaway by going on the Grand Central Pkwy to the Van Wyck Expressway. There is a notorious bottleneck where the 2 converge. Every day cars drove in the right breakdown lane, and then cut me off.
My daily mantra was “I hate this f..k..g city, repeated over and over. When I retired, we moved to Andes in Delaware county. We loved it there, but watch out for animals darting across the road, and G-d help you if you had serious medical problems, because Margaretville Memorial Hospital is best for ski injuries.

A number of the freeways in Austin Texas are elevated above the general roadways. There are places where people want to get off the freeway but there isn't an exit, so people will just drive their trucks and 4WD vehicles down the hill to the nearest street.

In some places these 'Austin Exits' have been used so much that someone has dumped gravel on them to make them easier to use.

At least make them trucks a bit useful.

Last night returning home from visiting my nephew and his wife I was in the right hand lane of the Interstate driving 68 mph in a 70 zone. A late model Ford doing at least 100 passed me on the right, swerved to the left across the freeway into the left inner lane, back to the middle lane and was gone. Not a cop in sight. If I did something like that a cop would be there and not put me in jail. They would pick up the corner of the jail and put me under it.

I am with you, if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
