Sounds like a fairly common traffic occurrence, not limited to M3 drivers.

This coming for a person who has an absolute loathing of all M3 drivers in this city. They are invariably complete assholes. I've almost been run down enough times in a crosswalk by these fvckers to consider carrying an RPG on my walk to work for self defense.

I've bitched about how the houston highways do this ass-backwards lane merges - two highways come together and the inside two lane just become one, with neither lane being the primary lane, so drivers really have to be aware of what's on the other highway in order to merge without dying.

Well I'm getting off 45 south and onto 610 east coming up on this merge, and as a careful driver I like to be aware of my surroundings so I look over onto the 610 lanes and see this jeep in the inside lane - he's a ways back, though, and I'm practically at the merge. Oh wait, he's going 90, and he catches up with me just at the point where the two lanes become one lane, so I've got to swerve (not quite a swerve, but a very fast lane change) over to the next lane to avoid this asshole's jeep getting stuck in my trunk.

I hit the horn at him, but that just made me wish my horn wasn't so weak - maybe I should get a new one.

Daymn, I remember when I was getting on the highway and there was this hummer in the inner lane with me in the outer lane. I was accelerating and then the a-hole has the nerve to gun it all the way and because of this I was really going to get squished so I ended up having to gun it as well and pass the asshole.

so basically you were behind an M3 in traffic decided to be an ass and speeed up to get around two other cars even though your exit was coming up. Realized you weren't going to make it and cut off the same M3 you were just behind. Now your talking crap. Too bad you didn't blow a tire and spin into the ditch.

Bay area traffic is more chaotic, but LA drivers are much more aggressive. If that happened in LA, that M3 driver would've flipped you the bird, wrote down your license plate, find out where you live, rape your dog, and post on ATOT about it using your account.

Sounds like you cut off the the M3 by trying to "squeeze" into your exit. Good job, A-hole. :roll:

LA drivers suck. Go look at your highways. They're slower than freaking residential zones.

That said traffic today sucked on 880. Jammed all the way to the Oakland airport (where DHL is located), and then 24 was jammed like crazy near 580. Bleh.

It sounds like YOU shouldve slow down knowing that your exit is coming and try to get behind some other car instead. We have no idea what is a "considerable" amount of space is to you (space for 1 and half car. space for 2 cars? space for 3?). So I can understand why the M3 driver is pissed.

Uh yea the OP was driving worse than the M3...
Why did you wait till the last minute to get off your exit? You just bascially cut in front of people or drove a bit recklessly.
Also I bet you are also the type of guy to go to the very front of the queue when it says merge or construction ahead.
Heck did you even use indicators properly to signal what you were doing? So many idiots never use their signals and I have no clue if they want to turn right, turn left, or go straight...

"but realized I was going to be too late since I saw my exit..." GJ nub! :disgust:

Edit: Ugh this thread was old. I didn't realize that.
