A Traffic Lesson

Here's a question for all drivers out there:

You're driving on the freeway in the right lane and want to exit at the next exit. But before that happens, another car is trying to enter the freeway from the right, from the previous exit's onramp. What do you do?

a. realize that you're going to decrease your speed soon enough, so you slow down and let the other car (which needs to increase speed to be on the freeway, and is now trapped in an "exit only" lane) in front of you.

b. hit the gas and not let the other car in - only to piss the driver* off when they have to fall in behind you, only to have you slow down in about 5 seconds to get off the freeway.

If you choose B, then you are a bad person.

*Yes, I am always the driver in the "I want to merge onto the freeway" car. And When I am Queen, everyone who does "B" will immediately be shot. (To maim, not kill. C'mon, I'm not a crazy dictator Queen.)

Sorry. You, as the driver entering the freeway, have to yield. I will stay in front of you.

You are right about that - however, this phenomenon is more of a mini-road-rage pre-meditated "eff you" to the other driver.
