Here's what I've seen:

Just last week, I'm cruising home on I-25 northbound at 55 in a 65 zone (due to rush hour traffic) and a little Honda merges onto the highway doing <40. He just moves over as if everyone is just supposed to let him in. About two dozen cars in both right lanes have to brake to avoid hitting him, and 5 cars about 8 cars behind this guy crash into each other in the right lane because they never see it coming. Even when they don't cause accidents, they cause major backups because tons of people have to slow down for each one of them moving in.

idiots like this are everywhere. they don't get hit directly and think they're driving safe because they're slow, but in reality they're creating situations where bunches of other people get hurt because of them. (I've been hit from behind 5 times because someone merged onto a highway in front of me going far too slow. It's cost me 3 cars and $13,000 in medical expenses out of my pocket.)

The worse part is that these little cars, even floored, can't get up to highway speeds by the end of many highway on ramps. They're running 60-80hp motors in a 4000lb car and can't get up to speed. These vehicles should be banned from US roads. if they aren't capable of getting up to speed before merging, they are a danger to everyone on the road.

1. You need to look whats going on and anticipate traffic better. Again a driving issue not a power issue.

2. Folks joining too slow. Again a driving skills and awareness issue not power.

3. 4000lb car in a Hyundai or Civic type? Even a Dodge Charger weighs in under 4000lbs.

The two posters ahead have hit it on the head.
WE DO NOT teach drivers well.



It drivers skill!
