    I don't. :biggrin_25524:Then again, I'm a chick, so that has something to do with it. :biggrin_2559:

    Even in my 4-wheeler, I will make room for a rig to get over in front of me when the lane closure mess happens because so many people will block them from getting over for miles.

    As far as the ones merging on from an on ramp . . . it depends on their behavior and what is going on around me.

    What really drives me nuts is those stupid metered ramps. Nothing like not giving traffic time to get even close to highway speed!

    Blocking Both Lanes on purpose?

    I've done it my 4-wheeler more than once. I'll split the lane enough to keep anyone from passing me unless they want to go onto the shoulder. The idiots racing up to the last 100 yards before the lane closure, then forcing their way into the open lane really annoy me.

    I've seen more than one near accident happen due to idiot jackholes like that.

    Those ones annoy the heck out of me. One of those idjits ended up partway under the trailer of one of the rigs for a local outfit I use to work for. The car was seriously damaged and the idjit driving it ended up with a nice healthy ticket. The cop saw the whole thing!

    rich - I do mean the idiots that wait until the last possible second to get over, just to clarify that!
