It’s just like those that expect you to yield when they are coming on to James River from a on ramp. Yes I will be considered and move over if possible but I will not slam on my brakes so u can get on the highway. Yield people

Or maybe get up to highway speed before trying to merge

Omg the people that putt along at 30-40mph drive me insane. I get some of these on ramps are poorly designed to get up to speed (looking at you, eastbound 60) but it's not impossible either.

It's so dangerous and shows a lack of defensive driving.

What's unsafe about maintaining your right-of-way?

And you aren't mine. Who got hurt in this exchange? The clown who made the unsafe move. OP simply didn't brake to allow them to pass from the turn lane, and that's how it should be

Be an asshole, get treated like one

Or go slightly slower than highway speed to slip in behind the line of traffic that can't get over. The possibilities are practically endless.

Fuck the naysayers, I would wreck my truck before I would let that asshole in. I like how people pull out in front of you and you have to slam on your brakes and not a person behind you. People like that piss me off. Awhile back, the police were giving tickets for driving in the turn lane.

I am a courteous driver but I have limits, and this is one of them. I've seen it several times on Republic and I always blast them with the horn for an excessive amount of time. No sorry, not sorry beep. You're going to remember this lol.

Probably because this town has the worst drivers in the country. Unfortunate.

Yeah. I basically see it as they're the kind of asshole that would do the exact same thing and feel called out.

After all, the massive number of bad drivers in this town have to exist somewhere outside their cars.

You aren't the asshole, you were just one of two on the road that day.
