[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you do this? It makes me hate you. I don’t want to hate you. [/quote]

Why? Because, for whatever reason, I can't continue moving forward safely.[/quote]

Also so many people around here seem to think every "yield" sign must have a merge zone even when there isn't any merge zone.  The number of times I've had people lay on the horn when I was at a no merge zone on ramp to GW Parkway or the on ramp to Duke Street at Van Dorn is enough to make me crack a molar.  You think I'm sitting here waiting for a break in traffic for funsies?  [/quote]

I guess your reading comprehension is as good as your driving. [b]OP said aside from no merge zones. [/b]

You should try driving school if you have so much trouble dealing with traffic and get that stressed over it. If you improve your skills you will improve your confidence and have a better experience.

Even when there is a merge lane,[b] sometimes it's still not safe to go.[/b] I'm going to go when I think it's safe for me to go, not when the person in the car behind me thinks it's safe for me to go. If I don't think it's safe to go, I won't go.

OP, how much were you delayed by the person who came to a complete stop in front of you? Is it worth getting upset about it enough to post on DCUM? [/quote]

If there is space to merge (which there is almost everywhere) then you don't stop, you accelerate.

You are going to cause an accident. Please seek out a driving school to deal with your anxieties.

I've been driving for 35 years without a wreck, thanks, and I'll trust my judgment (as the person behind the wheel, actually on the scene) over the judgment of an anonymous person on the Internet. [b]I'm not anxious about driving[/b], except insofar as I'm sharing the road with impatient people who drive like an extra three seconds will make the difference between world peace and nuclear armageddon.[/quote]

Again, you keep harping on this off-topic situation. Given how obsessed you are about it (and unable to stay on topic) I do think you're anxious about it.

If there is space, merge. If not, wait until you can. And if that many people are honking at you it might be time for some self-reflection...
