Angry cars trying to squeeze u in when ur cutting lanes , whats up with that

Today i went for a ride, i came up to a light, and cut lanes to the front. this douche in a pt cruiser tried to squeeze me in. i pulled up next to him and he just looked @ me with this stupid look on his face. I wanted to take his friggin mirror off, but i just kept going. cars don't lose a second of time by me getting by them. so wtf, anyone else experience this?

It's just jealousy, they don't feel you don't belong there, but when cages are waiting on an exit they'll use the shoulder.. Is it illegal where you are?

I've never gotten why people hate it and every time someone mentions it I make it a point to ask that person why they hate it so much, I always get the same response("Because I can't do it")..

Re: cars trying to squeeze u in when ur cutting lanes , whats up with that

Funny story my co worker told me is one day he was crossing the Triboro and it was packed, so he started to go in between traffic(this is an older guy in an oldish Ducati Monster).

So, as he keeps going some douche actually opened his door and pretended to throw something out RIGHT in front of him. What my coworker did was position his front wheel as close as he could and it didn't let him close the door.. According to him it was a good 5 minutes until he could move up to close it..

I wish it was legal here. I'm finding myself doing it more and more.

Some cagers are so stupid. I've had them get mad about lane splitting and try to run me into a semi at interstate speeds. I guess they don't realize that it's life and death.

Re: cars trying to squeeze u in when ur cutting lanes , whats up with that

Reading countless stories like this I don't think I would risk splitting lanes. Only takes one a hole to come over and end your day

edit I would at a stop light maybe.. but no clipping along the HWY
