2 lanes into 1 - do you get in the lane that is about to end?

At a stoplight, it's great for instigating races, but you also block the people behind you from making their turn.
Not only that, but why can't you just get in the proper lane like the others? What makes you so special?
I'll admit, I've done it before...but no longer now that I'm old and my car is slow.











Ahhh....much better to vent my road-rage than on the road.

that is very true.....

VQ engine = 4th gen = 4x4 suspension = illusion of an SUV = INTIMIDATION...... thus other cars get scared and don't challenge your merge

.....its simple mathematics!


hey if anyone was gonna say it, you knew it's be me

I always take the lane that is about to end, and I never have a merging problem.
