I’ll take 10!“What are some of your biggest pet peeves?”
Okay, so I learned to drive in CT, but now live in MA. In MA lots of the on ramps are short and have “yield” signs. So if it’s trafficy you might have to stop and wait for an opening.
But to my understanding, if it is not heavy traffic and there is plenty of room to merge you don’t have to stop. But I guess some people always stop?
Which is my biggest pet peeve! because I have nearly rear ended so many people!
What happens is I see that there is clearly a big gap in traffic and I just assume the person ahead of me is just going to go for it, because why wouldn’t you? So, I am now looking behind me/ in my mirror to see if there is another gap coming up. Some times I even start accelerating because I assumed the person ahead of me is long gone and on the highway already and I see my space coming.
And then! They are just sitting there??? At the end of the on ramp??? And I have almost hit so many people because of this. Like just go??? Just merge?? there is so much room! and trying to mere from a dead stop is like the worst? because you have to go from 0-60 in like ten feet??? which is so much harder than just merging!
Okay that was a long answer haha, but thanks for the ask!!
