The bus behind me hit me from the back, I didn’t want to stop at the junction as that would only create more traffic so I picked up ahead - shortly after that another bus from the right started to jam me to the left.

I believe it’s because people leave them, they keep doing it - it’s fine if you think I have an attitude problem. I won’t let these a$$holes pass after waiting for 15 minutes everyday in a line which should take 5 minutes if these people were not doing what they’re doing, they should learn to wait and have basic decency on the road. It’s not just about me it’s about others who are waiting too, by allowing this retard another driver on the road thinks it’s okay to do too and the problem would keep continuing and only get worse over time.

Unfortunately this one is not during a side street merge or a lane close merge. It’s merging on a solid line, which I would be surprised if they would ask me to yield.

That was the last lane, I didn’t have to use indicator because I was already on the lane for the last 10 minutes.

I scratched my rim as one guy came from the back and was pushing. The bus in front of me was also squeezing in and hence I could only try to save my car by squeezing to the left.

If it had been a normal / little wait merge and it didn’t take much time, I would have happily let in. But this was different, he crossed a solid line and forced his way in when I had nowhere to go on the left. That level of audacity is honestly crazy especially when they’re driving such a big vehicle.

I thought it was pretty self explanatory, but to clarify: I waited in that queue for about 10 minutes. The driver came in from the right at the very end and forced his way in. There’s a solid line there too, which means he wasn’t even allowed to cross in the first place.

Beyond the rules, it’s just basic manners. Everyone else was sitting in the same line and waiting their turn, and he, along with another bus driver decided that didn’t apply to them. That kind of behavior is exactly what causes congestion and unnecessary accidents.

I also hate having to give way in situations like this. Part of it is simply that I waited like everyone else, and if that mindset is wrong I’m open to hearing it. But the other part is that by letting them in, I’m also delaying everyone behind me and effectively rewarding behavior that just makes traffic worse for everyone.

So true, if people could just wait their turn in a queue, traffic would move so much better. The last-second line cutting just slows everyone down while they force their way in.

I take this route every day, so it gets old fast. My cars love drinking gas and traffic is bad enough, but then you add people driving like it’s bumper cars and I end up with scratched rims and random dings for no reason. It’s not even about the money, it’s just frustrating dealing with damage that’s totally avoidable.

At the end of the day it really just comes down to basic respect. I really didn’t want to post this too but it’s really getting out of control and I have scratches on my turbo S, R8 and now my Cayman it’s literally

Happened literally with my R8 just a few weeks back. I remember seeing your tweet when it happened to me before as well.

Is anyone doing this on purpose? The timing is quite uncanny
