Yep. I totally hate people like that.

How much do you think that'll cost to fix?

8 man DOT road crew with only 2 working at time and a half, to repair the scratches on the guardrail could add up to quite a bill for that driver.
Seems I recall one member of these forums getting a hell of a bill for gravel repairs. :whiste:

How is someone so stupid anyway? I mean really was he just not paying attention... while driving on the shoulder...

He was probably looking to his left, trying to merge, without considering what was in FRONT. 😳

Tow truck is going to take a long time getting there in that traffic, lol!

People do that shit all the time especially in big cities where there's 80,000 lanes of traffic. Or in construction zones... the sign says "MERGE" 2000 yards before hand for a fucking reason.

Idiot deserved to burst into flames. I guess that will suffice.
 
Love it. It could only be better if the person ran into the back of a state police cruiser while doing this type of thing so they could get ticketed/arrested on the spot.
 
Totally.

Reminds me of the tools that basically do the same when a highway is moving down to only one or two lanes (say, on the right). They'll speed down the left lane and then try and cut in and of course people let them in. Slows the whole line down but these are the type of "fuck everyone else" attitude people like in that gif.

Which is worse; the ones that try to game the system, or the ones that are completely oblivious to their surroundings? You know, the asshat that passes 2 signs that say the lane is ending, and the puppy tracks towards the end, and then it's a big surprise that they no longer have lane to drive in. Those are the ones with a milligram of a clue. Some others never realize their lane ended. They just point the car and go Wheee! Look at me, I'm driving!
 
Self imposed justice.

Hate dickheads like that, esp when there is plenty of room behind the car next to them and they have to turn it into a competition to squeeze in front of that car instead of falling in behind.

He deserved it. And just wait till he sees the damages to his car. He can't go to his insurance and say he damaged the car while passing on the shoulder. They will not want to pay to fix it.

LOL so this. I hate people that stop up traffic trying to merge 2 miles out from the merge point. Just get up to the merge cones and merge. No need to take 2 lanes down to 1 lane 5 miles out LOL. Idiots.

Agreed, in Minnesota, we have too many nice drivers that merge way before hand then they all get aggrevated when someone does the zipper merge correctly that they now have 3-5 signs saying not to merge until the end. even still I had a Target semi almost run me off the road once. I should have whipped out my video camera and got his info and called corporate. Minnesota is horrible at doing the zipper merge. At one point police would ticket people who would pull out on others simple to block them. The newspapers keep stating how the zipper merge is effective.

Hell one time I got caught because everyone merged miles before the first sign to merge so i said screw it then someone cocked blocked me in the empty lane. I no longer merge until the last possible point. I wish everyone would do the same thing.
