Changing weather patterns... yep, global climate change!

100%. It is another symptom of global climate change.

You hate global climate change? Good, so does everyone else.

Well, don't forget to create a hypeman video for your hypeman's hypeman's hypeman, and hype it up on your hypeman's hypeman and hypeman's channels. Then have the hypeman's hypeman's hypeman hype the hypeman, and of course the hypeman's hypeman's hypeman to the reverse uno and have the hypeman's hypeman's hypeman hype the hypeman's hypeman.

You quite literally are proving my point. The line that has 'priority' is the lane that isn't being closed. People are merging over when it is SAFE to do so and they are traveling at speed that is safe and keeps traffic moving. The problem is the person that guns it, (not finding a safe spot to move over at close to the same speed as the rest of traffic) and cuts someone off (disrupts the speed in which the rest of traffic is moving; specifically by making the other person hit their brakes to avoid an accident due to the person that gunned it and cut them off)

You think in the ideal world, not the real world. If I am in the right lane, I have a safe space to merge to the left and I move with traffic and merge over at the time that is the merge point, I AM DOING WHAT YOU ARE ASKING, and by 'blocking' the right lane I am allowing for the merge point to 'loosen' as they no longer have to worry about merging people. The only way this method DOESN'T WORK is if once people have merged they don't accelerate (due to an obstruction/choke up ahead) OR they don't know how to get back up to speed effectively, once that occurs, then finding your spot and merging as you desire is the correct play since traffic is flowing.

When it isn't flowing is due to that jerk-off cutting off people. It is why the whole issue arises, period. People then have figured out if you block the other lane, traffic actually starts moving again, because people aren't freaking out about the merging person and the flow (basically movement before the merge) can pick up again...

Actually no, it is a zipper merge. If people merge over 200 yards early because it is safe to do so, and then some jackass sees that the lane is open and guns it, then cuts into a space that is the safe following distance and makes it so that driver is now no longer safe and is cut off (2-3 car lengths on the SHORTEST; seen it done in less) and they gunned it to 80 to pass the 'line' of people going 50. They just fucked the line and crunched up ALL of the merging space for EVERY car behind them, since the 1 person had to brake. It actually has been proven that it takes almost a whole mile of clear driving for that 1 fuckers impatience to be resolved.

try it yourself

EDIT: Break is wrong... lol brake

The real problem is that people leave the space, then there is that random asshole drives 80 up until the merge point, then cuts someone off causing them and and everyone else to break and closes the space behind.

People speeding is just the way it is. Literally was taught to go 5 over the speed limit (and I was in a relatively less populated area; the greater Williamsburg VA area) and I almost always kept pace with everyone, until I am I-64, when most go 10mph+ or 80mph in the passing lane.

The 5 mph over applied pretty consistently throughout all of my driving everywhere when not on the interstate/highways. 10 actually is pretty applicable unless there is light traffic on almost all interstates/highways, and then it is 15 or a little higher (I was in bum fuck no where in GA and the slowest person was going 90 in a 70 and the fastest I estimated at 120; passed me like I was on a turn lane on a 35-40mph road waiting and they were driving)

That being said, NY varies greatly and areas around major cities you ALWAYS have a few people that drive like there is no speed limit that weaves through traffic. That is the person that I am not in the left lane for. I want them to go w/e they are going and not have to deal with many people changing lanes so the cops can snag them and they get their just desserts, plus they are less likely to slide when they lose control into some poor bastard that is minding their own business.

Uh, I have lived in 10 different areas while I am a driver. My god, Richmond is SO much nicer than Atl, NoVA, Fredericksburg, and NY for overall driving. Getting out of the passing lane usually solves most of the problems that you are citing.

Not disagreeing in any way for the cause of the multiple vehicle crash.

As for the top yes 100% accurate. The issue is that as roads become objectively less crowded (what they are designed for!) people are willing to move into the areas that are connected because they have a shorter commute time.

There is a reason that NoVA is soooo terrible (same with LA). Mass transit would solve the problem, period, but that is aside.

People not following the passing lane laws is one of the most infuriating things possible to me. I ALWAYS assume the person behind me wants to go 100mph faster than I am going, if I am in the passing lane. I obviously don't cut off of the through lane or on/off lane, but I definitely avoid camping in the left lane as much as possible, when it is safe.

The problem is the roads aren't designed for the volume they do get. Which is why this is literally not possible!

In the 1950s, guess what, it is 100% meant with those rule were created for and when.

That length is intended for the vehicle in front of you goes from full speed to 0 in an instant. (basically if they hit a parked car, barrier, etc.)

Adjust for inflation, adjust for price changes (basically production per hector vs $ per hector)

This is so flawed.
