Urge to Merge - Driving Extreme Suckitude #2

sorry. my dog died. i've been distracted.

back to another Extreme Suckitude of driving in NYC, by someone who's been driving for 20 years, but only for 2 months here in the City.

So, you're driving on a multi-lane interstate, say, the Long Island Expressway, and you see that sign up ahead that says "Left Lane Closed, 2 Miles".

A mile later, you see a similar sign - "Left Lane Closed, 1 Mile".

Then, shortly after, "Left Lane Closed, 1/2 Mile".

"Left Lane Closed, 1000 feet".

"Left Lane Closed, 500 feet".

And then, mere seconds before you slam into it, you attempt to swerve into the lane on your right, never mind the 1997 Teal Ford Escort Wagon that's already in the lane that now must swerve to HIS Right, causing the car in that lane to swerve, and so on...

You are the reason that traffic sucks, jackass. You are causing traffic by ignoring all of those warning signs, letting you know that maybe you wanna think about merging before you run up against that lane closure.

learn to drive, fuck-o.
