Right of way when merging
Here is a link to central Florida’s channel 6 Trooper Steve on who has the right of way when merging. This should be aired everyday on every station throughout the USA. IMHO

Like the morons will pay attention to that. Most of the idiots who think we are obligated to move over also do not know what the damn gas pedal is for.
No sense stepping on the gas in their Prius and ruin their mileage. Just jump into the right of way at 20 MPH and use the next hour accelerating to the speed of traffic.

Jon: We have an effective tool for those morons who jump into our lane at 20mph … the air horns. A very long series of long blasts … until they get up to speed. I’ve found it to be very effective.

Nice to see this. Ive begun to wonder what exactly they teach in drivers ed. Or do they even have drivers ed anymore
-
Every time that this situation occurs involving me I think to myself and sometimes say aloud, “Okay, you’ve got two pedals. Mash one of ’em”.
-
Jon very well said. Prius seems to be the “go to” vehicle for the hypermilers. I’ve been cut off while towing heavy uphill more times than I care to remember. What I do remember is the vast majority being a Prius with an idiot driver staring at a dash readout of some sort.
-
Yep, well said.
We have a saying around here that I think may apply. “If you can’t run with the big dogs, then don’t get off the porch”.
-
If I CAN move over safely, I do so. I am not here to teach driver’s ed.
In this day and age of road rage, I use the horn as a last resort.

I need help from the wise members of this forum.
My wife wants me to install a cannon on the front of the bus. I want to do it. However when I discharge the cannon at some worthy moron I do not want whatever i am shooting to bounce back and hit the bus.
I have thought about this a lot and I do not want what I shoot to be lethal, but to be something that identifies the car or truck as having done something really stupid. Perhaps a color all drivers will identify as an indicator of stupidity like yellow identifies a school bus or red identifies a fire truck.
A paint cannon that splatters all over the back end of the vehicle being shot at, but that will not splash, drip, or otherwise bounce back onto the bus.
How can this be done???????????
If I don’t come up with a solution, Di may just continue to use her fingers.

Jon, surely we have a fighter pilot on the forum. Preferably one that has been in a Hollywood movie. Those guys always fly through debris clouds unharmed. It CAN be done!

Ever see a potato cannon?

I always wanted to develop a way to stick a big decal on their rear that says look out I am a dumba** driver
And one that said i never read that the left lane is for passing not sightseeing

That`s what my six train horns are for ! Use them frequently sad to say but, if they`re not wearing their hearing aids in the prius, they only see my headlights full screen !!
