    If you pull one FULL car length PAST the stop bar making it even harder for that turning 18wheeler to make the turn without running his trailer over your hood. Seriously people! WTF makes you do this? Do you think youll get to your destination quicker? In the span of two hours, I had about 3 people make my turns even tighter by pulling way past the stop bar. Is this common practice in PA?

    Upon seeing a big-rig preparing for a wide right turn, with the turn signals flashing, and you get between the rig and the curb because you don't want to get stuck behind that truck for another block. :biggrin_25523:

    You pass a big truck, then lane change back in front of them with 2 feet to spare, and then hit your brakes.

    When you hit the guard rail after failing to merge, you blame the truck that was blocking the lane you wanted to get in.

    Had a car try to shoot by me on the right as I was making a tight right hand turn in Detroit circa 1990ish. I wound up with my trailer axles parked on this jokers hood. I was miffed until a cop walked over who witnessed the whole thing and ticketed the 4 wheeler.

    You think the blinking lights on the side of the trailer are Christmas lights!

    You see me moving over to the next lane, (flasher going) and when I'm half way in the land you decide you need to speed past me anyway..

    you think i am going to stop at the end of merge ramp, just because you will not ease over to let me out. that is what that other lane is for, i know, i use it all the time to let you out.

    You don't bother to read the "YIELD" sign that reads "YIELD TO RAMP"
