Usually, they will come to a dead stop and put their signal on and wait until someone lets them over. Those of us who are in the off-ramp lane because we really do need to exit the highway have to wait until the selfish POS finally finds someone nice enough to let them over before we can keep moving. Exit lanes here get very backed up because of people doing this. The people figure that being able to get ahead of 9 to 10 cars will save them precious time. Right. It's Atlanta traffic - you're SOL no matter what lane you're in. Argh.
I like to blast my horn at these people until they finally get over. mwhahaha.

I've learned that on the turnpikes (at least from Detroit to NY), that when lanes are closed due to construction, the semis that are in line actually block the other lanes so that people can't cheat their way into the open lane. I love it! You know they're all on their radios laughing about the suckers who want to do it but can't.
I HATE when people wait til the last minute to get over. The exit off the expressway I took to school (Southfield, Michigan Ave. exit), the far right lane turns into an exit only lane. Even though the sign is blatantly clear and you can actually see the lane ending, people ALWAYS get over at the last minute. WTF?

It was enough to knock 3 of them down and the 4th one looked like it was on it's way too.  My sister screamed "OMG you just knocked over someones bike go, go, go, go!" I was getting ready to go back into Bakers Square to find the bikers but she freaked out so bad. She reach her foot over and tried to hit the gas. So I just drove off. They didn't see us, but I know they were pissed when they came out. We were so scared, and I felt kind of bad, but when we got on the freeway home, we laughed so hard. I thought I was going to miss it but that light tap did the trick.  How embarrassing.
I guess bikes and I just can't live in the same world together.  |
You do understand how much those bikes are and how much they mean to the owners, right? And if you had gotten caught, that's a hit and run. That's seriously nothing to laugh at.
