'What happen, almost crashing me!' Zipper Merge Fail

Показать описание
Alright, so here's the story.
I've been sitting in 1-2 hours of traffic, and I come up to this traffic circle. Once I exit off this traffic circle, the right lane ends and must merge into the left. People then proceed to zipper merge, or take turns merging. This is great, because both lanes get to keep moving evenly.
Suddenly, some wiseguy comes in from the right and tries to force the right of way. I have no clue why he couldn't take turns or yield like everyone else was. I ignore it and I keep driving, but he almost hits the car in front two times and tries so hard to cut me off. So I turn the wheel to the right a little bit and he falls back.
Once we're stopped, he rolls up along the right side, looks at me, and taps his head motioning for me to use my brain. I roll down the window and ask him what his problem is, and he tells me I don't look and complains that I almost crashed into him. Last I checked, he was the one driving erratically - but whatever. I asked if he never learned how to merge in his life, and he probably saw my dashcam - so he fell silent, mumbled an OK, and merged in behind me.
To his credit, it would seem that he calmed down or acknowledged what he was getting worked up about was foolish.
----------
In summary, on one hand, he was a huge self-centered fool. On the other hand, I could've just let him in and not pay it any mind. So, as usual, I'll leave it to you guys to judge.
And yeah I know it's Chechen and not Chechnyan. :)
