Eddie Sessum Report post Posted September 2, 2013 So last night I'm going down the hwy and there's a really long merging late.. I'm going along doing 65 and a asshole creeps up right before it turns into a wall maybe doing 70 tops.. I hit the brakes but I suspect the car hit me before me once it picked up something so close.. Idiots now days, damn Lane has been that way for at least 4 years now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaineFusion Report post Posted September 4, 2013 I hope the damage wasn't bad on your car. I really hate stupid drivers like this. They are just another example of how our highways won't become significantly safer until they can engineer the driver out of the equation. I wonder what percentage of accidents could be avoided if drivers just practiced a some defensive driving techniques (like keeping even a modest following distance).

MaineFusion Report post Posted September 4, 2013 Oh I totally misread that, I thought he came up from behind you. You're saying he merged in late when there was not a safe place to merge. Drivers like this I'm sure are responsible for many accidents. This is another reason to appreciate adaptive cruise control. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djminfll Report post Posted September 4, 2013 People are such terrible drivers, I hate it when there are signs advising that the right lane is EXIT ONLY, and they stay in that lane right until the last second, then without signaling, they just move into the next lane. My ACC has reacted to morons like this numerous times. I'm glad your FFH was looking out for you! 1 corncobs reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dalesky Report post Posted September 4, 2013 Glad to hear that you survived. Like all of you I dislike drivers who act like they are special and cram their way in instead of waiting their turn. Oh they are special, but I won't say what. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie Sessum Report post Posted September 4, 2013 Well they wernt trying to cram. They were just cruising along and a 5foot high wall appeared in there lane because they wernt looking foward. Theres about a 3/4mile merge on that lane before it dead ends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
