    Is this is how all traffic jams are started?! Good to see you got out of that situation and handled it professionally!

    You could’ve easily avoided the whole situation if you looked ahead and ran a few scenarios in your head:slow car merging truck from the right.signal your intention to move left early on slow down find the opening and excute.you had at least 45 second to make that decision.

    Sorry, I don't have that much patience anymore. I'd have ran them over.

    Zero data to back up that statement. Plug in Colorado and you still have no facts to back it up.
