Over 100 posts in and it is clear, well at least murky, that INGO is unpredictable, to say the least, or was that most, not sure now...
OK, before this gets any worse and somebody gets banned, lets talk about something less inflammatory... Abortion. GO!
That was a fast ride to 67 posts...
Ive got insurance, and I ain’t afraid to use it. No way that ******* is forcing his way in.Meh, I merge while there's still time and space left to do so safely. Douche bag demo driver floors it and tries to force his way into the already full up stream of traffic at the very end of the lane so he/she can shave .5 seconds off his/her already late commute because he/she's a douche bag who thinks the whole freaking world should wait on him/her . They also seem to think it's okay to force people off the road instead of waiting for a reasonable opening, like the world is their right of way. They should be left to sit in their lane until a reasonable opening creates itself...tomorrow maybe. The only problem these people are trying to solve is their own, the one they created is for everyone.

And then there’s the reality of how it actually happens in real life, not the utopian dream of how it’s supposed to work.It is supposed to be a merge. That means the two lanes join together in one.
This thread has been interesting in the self righteousness being expressed by the folks who, in their own mind, have decided how the merge works, with their own list of rules, and they get upset when other drivers don't want to follow their rules and use the open lane to where the merge is created by the state.

Is the irony of your own self-righteousness about how, in your own mind, you've decided how the merge works with your own list of rules and get upset with other drives don't follow your rules, lost on you?
I am not sanctimoniously blocking open lanes available for merging nor trying to impose rules that are not law on others. That is the topic of the thread.

At the risk of saying we are beating a dead horse here I do believe we are beating a dead horse.
What I have learned from this thread.
-People. The issue is people.
-How to fix this issue.....People. The problem is with people.
-Are these truckers breaking the current laws.....yes.
-Do some of us appreciate what they are doing.....Yes
-Does this action upset some of us......Yes
-What can be done to correct this......People. The issue is with people.
Beyond this whats to be done here. I have put in a lot of windshield time in my life and have seen how "People" are becoming more and more self important and aggressive in traffic. Not every one but enough that you have to be aware. Add in the already mentioned self important soccer mom mini van driving ding bats and it is getting crazy out there. One of the reasons we sold our bikes.
