I was just thinking...am I a nice driver or what? What do I routinely do you ask? Well....

1.When a car changes lanes closely behind [stopped] me, I nudge forward to let them pull in completely to get their tail out of the other lane. Perhaps I don't like cars pulling in so closely behind me?

2.If the #2 and #3 lanes both turn right and there is a car stopped in the #3 lane waiting to enter the roadway and I approach to a stop next to him using the #2 lane, I stop slightly behind him so we can both see oncoming traffic from our left. I can still see, he can still see. Instead of pulling right up to his door or just ahead of him totally blocking his view where he can't go at all until after I go....

3.If I am approaching a red light in the #2 lane and there is a car behind me, if he uses his turn signal early enough before we get to the intersection, I can merge to the #1 lane and then stop, letting him make the right turn on red. That's what I would want him to do. Nothing I hate more than sitting at a red light behind another car going straight when I want to turn right and there is absolutely no traffic around. :angry: I know it's only 2 minutes.

Am I nice and being a considerate driver (for nothing at all) or am I just making up for the rudeness on the flip side of the coin:

1.If I'm in the #1 lane and I see a car in front of me changing lanes from the #2 to the #1 lane to go around slow traffic, no way are they going to get in front of me if it looks like it's gonna take then 10 minutes to pass. I speed up.

2.The axxhole who likes to drive all the way down the freeway in the #1 lane doing the speed limit until he's ready to exit off on the right side. Then he wants to cross two lanes to hit the exit at the last minute? Not if I can help it, I had to pass this jerk in the right lane. If you want to exit, you have to drive in the #2 lane for 1 mile at the speed limit. Only those who are violently passing everyone > 85mph can fly down the #1 lane and cross three or more lanes to exit at the last minute.

3.Some people who are attempting to make a left turn across two or more lanes of traffic think that they should accomplish this one lane at a time. At the uncontrolled intersection, first they block off the #1 lane by nudging their nose into oncoming traffic to stop it, then they look for a break in the #2 lane oncoming traffic; and so on. Nothing worse than approaching a car stopped in your lane, the driver trying to see around you to see what else is coming. Know what I mean? A few years ago a guy did this and I saw him in my lane semi-facing oncoming traffic (me), I was speeding and I pretended like I didn't even see him; only to hit the brakes at the last second and come to a screeching halt; on purpose of course. You should have seen him lay down on the passenger seat, first he threw up his hands to cover his face, then he went down thinking I was going to ram him in my old GranAm. It was funny at first but later I felt bad about scaring him so badly.

 

Everyone who flys by me on the highway is a crazy maniac.
Everyone who drives too slow in front of me is a flaming a--hole.
I am the nicest driver I know

 

Um... I like to slow down if I see a signal to let someone in my lane...
Which lane ie number one?

 

Traffic lanes are numbered from left to right, starting with #1.

 

Ooo, I never knew that. Cool fun fact!
