Bitch, Bitch, Bitch

When I drive to work, the way my exit off the highway works is that rather than turning right to follow the road, you pull up straight to the lights, which puts you on a different route. The far left lane is a straight shot and the lane to the right is more like if you were on the left side of the turning section and decided at last minute you wanted to get off the highway. Its also for if you're driving up and see that the light might turn green and would prefer to blow by everyone rather than slow down.

Here is a diagram for your viewing pleasure because that reads in a really confusing way.



SO. The far left lane is the correct way to go. Everyone else merges right unless you decide to cut off an entire line of people and then you take the right side straight arrow. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mention that both lanes merge into one on the other side of the lights. Well, they do. I say you know what? If you're a fast driver and you don't want to wait for everyone, then by all means use that right lane. I hate people blowing by me too but if you want to go faster than everyone it makes more sense and I can understand.

What happened this morning was a little different. I was at the front of the left lane and someone was in the right lane. When the light turned green, he raced ahead and got in front of me. Okay. And then he drove down the road wicked fucking slow. Torturing me as we went. My question is why would you try to get in front of everybody if you're the slowest car of us all? I'm going to open my own driving school and its going to involve failing you if you're a flaming moron who doesn't know how to work with others. It will be a required class for everyone with a license and your insurance will go up without it. I think I'd cut out at least 50% of the traffic on the roads right now.
