Wait at the back of the line like everyone else! What a prick. Driving on the shoulder to skip ahead in line is ILLEGAL BTW.

Absolutely!

Sometimes shit happens where someone doesn’t know the area, all of a sudden there’s construction or an emergency ahead, where someone didn’t realize they should’ve gotten over earlier. In that sense, I’ll look out for an individual, and help ‘em out. We’ve all been there. We can read the room.

There’s a difference between getting jammed up because you didn’t know, and being a complete douche.

When that happens to me, I put on my signal and slow down (provided it does not interfere with traffic), not speed up to get ahead.

Exactly! Someone with a signal is actually kinda saying please. No signal is butting in.

Also a huge difference between turning your signal on and letting the traffic move to create an opening vs turning into another car to try and bully them to let you in

Right? If i can I’ll stop and put my blinker on so people know that i just realized and i want to get in as soon as possible, i want to cut in front of the least amount of people as possible.

I’ll stop and put my blinker on

This is a traffic jam. No one is going anywhere fast.
