You don't need to tailgate. Just high-beam the guy up a couple of times, and he'll get out of the way (at least he should)

Maybe in NM... I've seen unmarked cars pulling people over in CA, so you should research your facts a bit...

Scary @ss looking car....

That's the same way the ones in AL look. They look identical to those FIB cars in GTA4. The FPD does have a tweaked out Mustang and a couple of other cars though that look normal other than performance modifications and shiny wheels. They can and will pull you over. Also, I know for a fact that unmarked cars have pulled people over in NM and gave them tickets. Several of my friends live over at the Air Force base there.

An unmarked car can't pull you over for one, and impeding traffic? I'm sure like 2 of those get written a month in the entire US.. You guys are out there man... lol

Oh and careful, people have been prosecuted for telling people to kill themselves... hahaha

Here's another one, I've been driving for 16 years and have never been in an accident. Its amazing I'm still alive!!!!!!

Sometimes stopping is safer. I've seen people think they can go from 25 MPH to 50-55 MPH and think they have the right of way, when they're supposed to yield. Yes it merges but oncoming traffic shouldn't have to yield from 55 to 35.

In response to what you said:

The people in the merge should NEVER STOP it's unsafe and causes unnecessary congestion. At any rate traffic enforcement refuses to do their job and cite them for obstructing a roadway, so people will continue to stop.

they (the ones already on the road) shouldn't be slowing down, they should be attempting to get over to the left into the middle lane instead of blocking the slow lane and merge lane from the entry ramp.

I deal with merging at least three times on my way to and from work, I have to stop once at one because it is just after an intersection and no one seems to understand that grouping up (bunch of vehicles tailgating and going the same speed) is unsafe. I pull all the way up the merge lane and then wait for a break/light change.

People need to be aware of the surroundings and not drive with blinders.

The 'merging traffic ahead' sign is not their for beautification



I see this I get into the middle lane, I don't try to hold my speed or refuse to let people merge, I don't slow down so they can merge. You never know who is merging, or if they're paying attention.

I agree with what you said when it comes to just a merging sign but this is a yield sign without a merging sign. This is on a two lane road with a posted speed limit of 50 MPH which means most people will be driving over the limit. An opportunity isn't always available to change lanes when cars are not leaving a 3 second gap. I've seen cars cut others off without signaling because they don't want to be stuck in a merging lane.

"A three-sided red YIELD sign means you must slow down and be ready to stop, if necessary, to let any vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian pass before you proceed."

i didn't like the guy's opinions who got banned but i don't know that i wanted him banned for it. maybe there was some over the top pm'ing going on that i don't know about.

[JumpmanYaris]

He needed it, is it temp? or for good?

[sickpuppy1]

I agree, Yes has a right to his opinion, but folks, lets face it, he was doing alot of that stuff for the sole purpose of instigating the fight. Just to tick you off. He knows how to trip buttons and enjoys doing it. For that he should be banned and I hope they are watching his IP, cause I'm sure he will be back. I'm a Mod over at Heartlandrc.com and we go out of our way to NOT be ban happy. People are different and some are easier to get along with than others, hang with those you like and avoid the others. But some times there are trolls that just like to start stuff to be difficult. Those are the ones you watch for.
And man, amongst us redneck RC racers, theres a bunch,LMAO!!

[JumpmanYaris]

lol damn

[fmicle]

lol, let that be a lesson

[kustom play]

he had it coming, he was acting like a total child about the subject. Its ones thing to disagree about something, its another to just be outright rude about it

[why?]

I here that, and I am living proof, no matter how much I try.

back on topic, you guys should come over here and see how any inkling of an idea of lane discipline is a laughable concept

on a 4-lane highway, the slowest lane (usually reserved for trucks) becomes the unofficial super fast lane if people in the fast lane aren't going fast enough for your taste... weave weave weave is the word of the day.

and yes, road deaths here are horrifically high
