If I'm going on the 401 from the ramp and someone just sits there when there's plenty of room to move, I'll start merging into his/her lane, it's especially fun when you're a bit ahead of them because then you can see their face as you start to merge at their car. lol.
No, it's not smart but it's funny as hell and no-one's gonna get hurt. The one finger salute always makes ya feel better too.

I don't believe it's illegal to stop on an on-ramp.
I mean, what do you do if it's bumper to bumper and you can't merge?
There's no way the lady is getting in trouble for not mergring.
ANY time you rear-end someone, it's your fault.

thanks for all the tips guys...
i still haven't heard from the female dog, and what her doctor said...
but luckily i've got some friends who work in an autobody & paint shop who felt really bad and said if i bought the parts and paint, they would charge practically nothing for labour, so according to the "estimate" damage is under $1000 = i don't have to have a damage sticker = i don't have to file a police report = i don't get a ticket for "wreckless driving" or "following to close" = i get no points on my record.
things went a little better today...but the road to financial freedom is still a long one ahead...
just like that funny lingering aftertaste that you get in your mouth, this one will be in my bank account for a long time...

You need a bit of the merge lane to be able to gain speed and merge in with the flow of traffic.
If you're stopped at the very end you're essentially forcing yourself to stomp on it to try and squeeze in.
If you wait until the very end of the merge lane to stop and take a look you've basically screwed yourself. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
