I’m in the left lane of a 6 lane divided road. It’s not a highway, it’s in a residential area and speed limit is 45mph. (picture something like this, but with houses on each side and the occasional cross street.)
I’m by myself, nobody to the right of me or in sight in front of me or in back of me. I’m turning left in about 1/4 mile.
I see a guy start pulling of a cross street on my left to go my same direction. He has a bit of a lane in the median to allow for a merge or to wait for an opening. Instead of speeding up to go ahead of me or waiting to go behind me after I pass, he tries to merge in at the exact same time, then has to hit his brakes and slide in behind me. I see him going bananas in my rear view mirror and he flicks me off as I slow to turn left.
I never play around or speed up or slow down to block people. Not into road rage games. But I was the only vehicle in sight in literally every direction - he basically had to try to create a conflict with where I was located.
I say F this guy, but what do you all think?
