Boy, were the people trying to use that lane PISSED
Good thinking! +1 for America's truckers!

Re: "CUTTING IN" is it an Aussie thing ????

I have done a similar thing in heavy traffic on a dual carriage way I have seen people use the emrgency stopping lane straight up the inside at 60-70 KMH right up to the end of the lane and then cut in. I got sick of it one day and so took the inside lane and just held my spot.

The idiots behind me flashing their lights and sounding their horns but NO WAY was I going to let them past.

Another way to pass the time in heavy traffic.

Re: "CUTTING IN" is it an Aussie thing ????

I'd just like to say that I have someone cut in front of me at least once every time I drive. In fact, when it doesn't happen, I start wondering whether I'm actually awake or just dreaming about driving. DC sucks for driving.

Re: "CUTTING IN" is it an Aussie thing ????

On Route 30 in York PA, there's a section where it goes from 3 lanes to 2. The right lane is an exit that brings you to West York. Idk why but people always wait till the last minute to get into the right lane. Waiting till they're practically out of room in the paint to get in. I guess they don't want be to stuck behind cars that go the speed limit or even 10 mph over it.
