Please tell me what makes you so important. Seriously. I’ve been sitting in this *long* line waiting to get on/off some major highway, and you come zipping in from the next lane over and expect me to let you in. Are you kidding me?
Merging. Do you all know the meaning of this word? I can tell you that it is NOT riding the bumper of the car in front of you so that the merge lane cannot get in. C’mon – everyone’s line would go faster if you did what you should have learned in Kindergarten: TAKE TURNS.
If you cut me off so that I have slam on my brakes, at least use the decency to then step on your gas pedal. Seems you were in a huge hurry to get in front of me, but as soon as you got there – that fire under your butt went out.
And what’s with all of you going along side-by-side at the same speed so no one can get around you? For real. I’m actually wondering this. Is there some guide book that I didn’t read that mandates everyone in all lanes go the same speed?
On that same topic, stop riding my butt if I’m in the left lane and have nowhere to go. I cannot go any faster than the car in front of me. And there’s obviously a car right next to me. Where do you expect me to go to get out of your way? And for that matter – what makes you so important that I SHOULD get out of your way?
Oh, and I’ll let you in on a little secret. You know when you’re sitting there on that side road and I’m coming toward you? If there seems to be a lull in the traffic, more often than not – I’ll give you the space to let you in. Unless you try to take it from me.

Ah yes the joys of driving in Massachusetts! Nice rant, I agree with you completely.
You forgot the one where someone is trying to pull out and make a left across traffic. They pull halfway out blocking one lane completely until they get a break in the direction they’re going.
Oh my! I think the opposite. I think Mass drivers are 100 times better than NY drivers.
I guess it all depends on what you compare it to…..but my thoughts are: these people who are being….agressive….they are probably not from around here….most likely NY’ers. Sorry, it was probably me 😉
But I’ve mellowed out in my old age….
I don’t think this behavior is unique to Mass drivers…we have plenty of it around here too. Especially the ones who ride your tail when you’re in the hammer lane, as if you can just drive UP AND OVER the car in front of you or something. Sheesh.
It’s funny, but everywhere I’ve ever gone has the worst drivers in the world Mass definitely does not have a monopoly on bad drivers. Especially if you go to england or Australia and they’re on the wrong side of the road (it was most likely me being the bad driver there).
