A blinker doesn't give you the right of way. Also if you're waiting that long to get over for your exit then you need to learn to plan ahead. Lastly 10-20 feet is not a reasonable amount of distance to merge infront of a car, you're cutting people off which is why the don't let you merge.

Im far ahead of them 10-20feet going about 65-70mph. They speed up to 80-90 trying to beat my merge. ITS INSANE to think you are going to win that. I take the merger and slow down on their ass. They can fuck off and go to another lane.

So shouldnt you be speeding up to match the pace of traffic? Ie if you see someone in that lane quickly catching up to you, shouldnt you speed up to slot infront of them?

This is where the rub is, if im far enough ahead going atleast the speed limit lets say 70 and im way in the clear to get over and actively taking it. Im not speeding up to beat the asshole who decides to do 80 to try and beat me.

What happens if i have to break because of the car in front of me? I look out for me and drive defensively especially in this area. Maybe you have to be there to understand?

If you are in a hurry get in the passing lane, its that simple.

10-20 feet isn't even one car length. And what are they driving that can speed up that quick? Also,again, why are you waiting that late to merge?!?!?!?!? It's okay to be in denial that you're actually the problem. But please learn from this.

I take the merge as soon as i can. Also this the place that has an accident almost everyday. Ive been driving for decades, never had a fender bender. These people maybe even you are the problem. People here drive like they are on meth and it shows.
