You can replace Tampa area with Winnipeg, Canada, and your post would be just as true.
To the OP, there are people everywhere who don't have a clue how to merge onto a freeway. Here the problem is all the idiots who get into the merge lane and then stop and wait for an opening rather than just keeping their speed up and MERGING.
While we're bitching about drivers tell me, how are drivers where you are for doing those little couresies? Like slowing to let you in, or giving you the courtesy wave when you let them in? What about on a side street where it's common courtesy to swing in between parked cars to allow an oncoming vehicle to go by you? So few do that here. (I do). And, when someone does pull over to let you by, do you give them that little courtesy wave? (I do)
No signals. Me first. Fuck you. Answering this text is more important than your life.
As annoying as it is it's no wonder more and more cyclists are taking to riding on sidewalks these days.
