Since we have some 'odious driving' posts today, how about the ones who .... ...come cruising out of an on ramp and make no attempt whatsoever to adjust their speed to fit into the flow of traffic? They wait till the ramp is almost ended....and then they look at the right travel lane, where they will have to be, right soon, and are surprised and very pissed sometimes to see a vehicle already there, one that hasn't altered it's speed or lane to get out of the inattentive merger's way.... My Interstate travel is often done in the right lane since I don't go 80mph like most seem to do....Sometimes I even have big rigs passing me or other 'momentum' vehicles. Or someone in the process of going past me in the left lane, when along comes this 'wait till the last possible moment' vehicle wanting to get into the travel lane from the very last few yards of the on ramp.... Again, I sometimes get the StinkEye from these types....Makes you wonder.
