re: Driving "Morally"? What do you think?

I will admit that #2 is actually savvy if it works, as the people you're merging in front of have no idea you're being a fricking prick, because they assume you're just entering the highway from that on ramp.

That is a pretty interesting concept to me, the notion to consider what strangers in other cars think of me as I drive.

I guess the idea is that if they like me they will let me in, but that doesn't make sense really. I never really have a problem merging in on any of the scenarios because at the end of the day no one wants to screw over "the a-hole" so much as to get in a wreck. I shove my car in there, they move over or let me in, life moves on.

The times I am the person who might be screwed by an aggressive merger I always let them in. I don't see the point of getting so upset about driving. I think that kind of retaliatory road rage causes more problems then accommodating a few assholes.
