I've always wondered why some people feel it is OK to cut in line in traffic. We don't cut in line at the bank, or at amusement parks, or at the grocery store checkout, but it's perfectly fine to cut in line on the freeway. Makes no sense to me.

But tailgating makes no sense to me either, and that happens. Cutting immediately in front of someone after passing them makes no sense to me, but that happens.

I've learned to just accept it. Right or wrong, there's nothing I can do about it. Getting angry only hurts me. So when I come up on a merge where traffic is stop-go-satop-go, I put the truck in second gear, sit back, and let her roll.

They are being passive aggressive. They have a responable expectation that they will not be verbally or physically confronted. Happens all the time here is NC and VA. I was stationed in Hawaii for 14 years and quickly learned that if you just give the person a little room to merge, the line of traffic will keep on moving. When I do it here, guess what...traffic keeps moving. Of course there is always some ***bag that has to shove his/her way in and add to the log jam.
