Yeah, you sure are. It is YOUR responsibility to merge with traffic, not theirs.In 4+ years of living in Fargo I don't think there have been more than 5 instances where I couldn't temporarily move left a lane to make it easier for someone to merge.
People here suck at merging; why make it more difficult for them ? The roads work better for everyone if you facilitate for the shortcomings of other drivers. If this doesn't slow you down, why not do it ?
When I'm merging, if people don't temporarily get out of the right lane when the middle/left is available, I just assume that they're inattentive or inconsiderate. I then feel no qualms about blowing past them on the right during the merge process with superior acceleration.

+1 ^ But then common courtesy has been pissed out the window nowadays. people are in a hurry to get nowhere.

I usually move over a lane as well, however if I can't (lane blocked OR I know I'm going to be getting off at the next exit) or if I merely didn't move over and someone honks at me because they don't know how to merge, I WILL slow down/wave/smile/whatever. Am I a dick? Yes, everyone knows this.

O god! Lets not bring that thread up again. I think that was a brudal lashing for cougar boy!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -

Grand Forks drivers are just as bad as Fargo drivers, if not worse. We get locals and Canadians who don't know what a left turn lane is for, so the stay in the lane to the right of it, while they wait till traffic clears so they can turn left, while there is a line of 10 cars behind them. I don't understand why Canadians can't drive, Winnipeg is a mess downtown compared to our straight roads and right angled intersections. Never give a local Grand Forks driver 3 lanes. They will slow down and panic, and then cut you off. Yesterday, I saw a guy stop at a dedicated left turn lane with a red light, and then he takes off because he thinks he can make it. Not only is he stupid, but he is breaking the law, and endangering other drivers. And most of these drivers don't use their turn signals, either.

yeah i know how dumb accidents go...by the way this is my first post or whatever...Yeah i lost my 93 Accord in the pic next to this because a bitch dont know what a red light means. Stupid hoe ran a red light and smoked my front end. Its kinda weird really...im usually a speeder for the most part but that day i wasnt...i figured if i was going any faster...she would have t-boned my driver side going about 40 mph...yeah i probably would been killed...kinda scary when you think about it.

This is as relevant a thread as I'm going to find..
I'm sick of people not paying attention to WHERE THE HELL THEIR LANE IS AND WHERE IT'S GOING.
Crossing 10th, crossing University, I nearly get rubbed on by two different people within about a minute because they decided to go straight from the "turn only" lane.
Also worth mentioning.. people can't seem to drive in one lane anymore. Did I miss the amendment where we now legally have to drive with one tire over the dotted line? No?
I'm gonna sell my car and buy something I don't worry about people running into. Seriously.
(Still) Looking for an 83-87 Prelude. Carbed is great. FI is just as great. Has to run well, body doesn't matter. Teg's going up for sale.
