Anybody up for a random meme dump?

No thanks...

On our way to the Rubicon a couple years ago some woman was blocking traffic like that. Mrs App was driving my truck pulling the trailer and Jeep in the Black Hills, just outside of Sturgis. She used the shoulder/median to go around. I laughed at the lady as we went by, she didn't look happy.
 
I could tell you a story about riding a SuperMoto bike around Lake of the Woods (with a 1 gallon, full gas can in a backpack) like a hooligan that may have included some crazy gravel shoulder passing of some Victory engineers on the latest (at the time) lead sled at 60 MPH, but then I'd have to kill you...

Happy to still be alive after concluding my crazy days!
 
The more democrats pull this shit it's just turning Trump into a martyr.

I saw a clip on YouTube were someone on CNN said the democrats are making a huge mistake. The proof is everytime charges are filed Trumps poll numbers go up. If more states pull his name, the Supreme Court will overturn this.

Trump could really benefit from all this.

They WANT him to be the nominee, as he is by far the least-electable option. And the right is taking the bait as they like being righteous losers.
The biggest threat to the left right now is DeSantis. He has shown that he knows how to crush them. Trump getting nominated is their last hope of winning the election.
 
Guilty...

I've also watched semi's split lanes and stack the lanes and slow down so no one could jet past the open lane traffic.

I have no problem with that. I've got beside one and used it to pace traffic beats the hell out of moving 4ft and stopping, moving 4 ft and stopping. most of them once they see what your doing will just creep along with you. It mostly happens when coming up on a lane closure with everybody that CAN'T READ running right up to where the barrels start because their time is worth more than yours ! THEY IS MORE IMPOTENT THAN YOU ARE !

yea thats great in writing, but 5% will actually do it !

I do it every time that's why you bitch when I pass you.




When you are driving and come to a construction zone that requires traffic to merge out of a lane, what do you do?

I usually merge into the first available open space. Frankly, it’s always bothered me when people speed down the soon-to-be-closed lane despite the signage, then merge at the last possible minute. That just doesn’t seem… egalitarian. It kinda feels like I’m being taken advantage of.

But I learned today that there’s a better way. Traffic experts say the best strategy when traffic is backing up is something called a “zipper merge” — fill up all available space in both lanes, then take turns letting vehicles from the closing lane in, kinda like teeth on a zipper. It may seem rude, but supposedly it will reduce back-ups by as much as 40 percent!

If the concept sounds foreign to you, there is plenty of guidance on the Internet. Study the illustration, from the Texas Department of Transportation (http://txdotsanantonio.blogspot.com/2016/10/is-zipper-merge-rude.html ).

The problem is people who speed up to try to pass as many people as they can and try to force their way into where someone else already waited their turn and used the "now FAILED" zipper merge technique.


Personal experience:
I have traveled I-90 in Montana many times through their construction zones and when traffic is at higher volumes. There is plenty of room for people to merge before the forced merge so they maintain their current speed and do so well in advance without ever dropping their speed. Then some fucking self emportant asshole speeds up 10 to 20 mph faster to pass everyone they possibly can, then everyone they passed has to slam on their brakes when asshole forces their way over into the open lane!

At this point, I don't think Desantis would have any path to victory if Trump were removed from his path.

If people zipper merged then the asshole can't be an asshole.
