This PSA brought to you by several would-be assassins who tried to wave me in front of speeding cars in the last month and who will have to try harder next time.

    Another thing that enrages me is people who think driving slowly is safer for whatever reason.

    Getting on the highway? Let’s SLOWLY merge at 60% the speed of oncoming traffic.

    Changing lanes from stationary traffic into a full speed lane? I won’t wait for the lane to clear, I’ll just turn signal and move into the lane REAL SLOW because that’s safe.

    Turning right? Let’s slow down to a complete stop and force traffic to a halt so I can turn right.

    As a delivery truck driver I can’t tell you how many people think that everyone else can just stop on a dime for them and they’re being safe because they move over at a snail’s Pace.

    Nothing gets me closer to road rage than people waving me on when they have the right of way at a four way stop. Like yes thank you that’s very polite, but we both could’ve been through this intersection if you’d gone when you were supposed to.

    That, to me, looks like an intersection I would never want to turn left on in the first place in anything but the most deserted area.

    This happens to me every other day. Ffs please don’t be polite, just drive by the rules. I hate it when cars stop in the middle of the road and you have to wait for them to start driving again because you often can’t know i f they are being polite of if they are just adjusting google maps and continue to drive.

    This road design seems also be done by someone completely insane. Who thought it was a good idea to cross two lanes without any kind of traffic regulations.

    Luckily no every country has insane roads like that.
