    Top 5 things that make me go hmm... (are these people wind up toys)?

    Must merge slowly, no matter how long the on ramps are.

    Must speed, but can only do so in a straight line, and must corner too slowly.

    Must rush toward you when they see you turning, then stop where it screws up your angle.

    Must park in your way no matter how far out of the way you are, or ask you to move as soon as you complete a lengthy parking maneuver.

    Must walk or pull behind you when they see you backing.

    Coincidence or conspiracy? I won't be the judge, merely an observer.

    "Must walk or pull behind you when they see you backing."

    Attempt to get insurance money.

    Only one time you'd be able to pull that one... And that's if you're lucky.

    My conspiratorial question is....

    The need to pass us only arises when we need to merge. And the passing must be done as slowly as possible.

    or how about as soon as you put your blinker on to move over for leo or something else on the shoulder they have to speed up. (Since when did a blinking light meaning you moving over mean to speed up?)

    I know. Wonder how they think their car is going to stop an 80,000# truck from changing lanes.

    Well, they can stop it even if you come over. But they'd only be able to stop it once.

    Edit:

    Aha! I just realized it.. Think traffic lights. Red is stop, green is go, yellow is speed up. Maybe our orange flashing lights trigger that 4-wheeler mentality of, "Oh! Yellow light! I gotta speed up before it turns red!"
