'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. :)

Handled that perfectly. I hate when people try to use the merging lane as a passing lane.

I don't understand how so many people are so stupid to not understand that a zipper merge means "1 car in 1 lane goes, 1 car in other lane goes, repeat cycle". Not "2+ cars jam their way into one lane all at once".

Way to stand your ground, I would've done the same thing! Great vid

Never let them bully you, or threaten you with their car. Even they know any collision will be their fault. But they are betting on your good driving to avoid a collision. Forcing them to stop driving like this will help everybody else on the road.

I've stood my ground like this. People will always think they can douche their way in and that everyone will always back down, unless people start putting their foot down and standing ground a bit.

Ayy I was the 5, 000th view. I hate seeing people let themselves be taking advantage of in situations like this. It's always satisfying to see "justice" being served to assholes like that. Good work and I love your videos!

I’m a new driver, so basically what the merging car was supposed to do is let OP go first?

I swear, do they just not do drivers tests for some people? Merging is a basic skill!

The side of the car looks like a Honda accord. I thought maybe it was me but I would never drive like that. and continue forcing the situation. Gotta get over it.

There are way too many rude drivers these days and they're in too much of a hurry to get where they're going. People wonder why insurance rates are so high.

An argument over a 1 second delay and this would be a 50-50 fault.
