Lane ending nazis

[stinkbelly]

What is it with drivers that think they need to block other cars from passing them if there is a lane closure really far ahead?

Twice in the past month I saw drivers driving on the dashed line between lanes swerving from lane to lane to keep people from passing them. In both cases the lanes didn't merge for over a mile and there were no signs yet saying the left lane was ending.

They seem to think that everyone should know about the construction ahead and everyone should abandon all lanes to get to the one that is going through even if you are miles from the lane ending.

The one last night really got me because an idiot hauling a camper swerved around two 18-wheelers and then started to block them both from passing him. We were about 1 mile from the lane ending and there were no signs yet. Finally one 18-wheeler had enough and passed him on the shoulder. The truck swerved, tried to block the 18-wheeler and almost plowed into the back of me.

I don't like people flying up to the point where the lane ends and squeezing in either, especially if there were warning signs, but some people take it too far.

I don't like people trying to drive up to the barriers and cut in line! I will happily block others trying to cheat the system.

Kinda had to chuckle when you mentioned people see the sign (Merge left-Lane ends) ..you know the one.....BIG BLOCK letters that any person with eyes can see.....but instead of obeying the sign.... they floor board it to get to the very end and then give you the finger for not letting them in. Huh? I consider those people RUDE and Obnoxious and will do everything in my power to make them sit in that lane as a penalty for their rudeness. They need to pay. I think to letting them in is not the manly thing to do..... I think of the Soup Nazi in Seinfeld.....NO LANE CHANGE FOR YOU!!!!

i block as needed, if you don't want me blocking you then stop disrespecting everybody on the road who is driving in the proper manner by thinking you can just do what you want when you want.

These are the folks that cause the traffic to stop completely. If they would get on over when they see the signs, traffic would flow on through a whole lot better. When I get up to the cones, it's sorry Charlie. Should of got in line like the rest of us.

I have been known to throw up a block to keep the line cutters in check.

I am kind of a simpleton in this matter. Apparently someone else's life is way more important than mine, so they need to get that 2 car head start to sit idly in traffic. But I do get a warm fuzzy feeling inside where it matters most when I see people get irate for being blocked.

Learn how to read and follow the posted traffic signs including those for lane changes and closures and everything will be fine. If not expect someone to take offense to your selfish driving habits and try to block you.

The "Nazis" and the "fly by squeezers" have the same mentality, just two different reactions to the situation. I have been guilty of both. But I try to stay in line and wait my turn.

sounds like the guy knew about the construction and was trying to help traffic to move faster by giving you heads up.

we learned that cutting in lines is wrong since our first day in school yet people still do it.

I'm with you Stinkbelly - Pick a lane and stay there. I know someone who will call 911 and report the license plate as someone driving erratically between lanes. A lot of times, those people are texting, so be careful.

Line cutters - I don't think that's what you were referring to. Sometimes I become a line cutter without knowing it - yes, they didn't put the dang sign up far enough back for half of the people to move over.

You have traffic up there too huh? I always thought it was a hoot driving in New York City in a cab. Now there some real adventure there.
