Jerk Merging
It has come to my attention as I commute home from Salt Lake City every day that there is an abundance of jerk mergers in the construction zone around Farmington. Now, my intent is not to be negative but rather informative.
A jerk merger is someone who waits until the orange barrels have literally blocked the lane they are driving in to merge over into the next lane, abusing the good driver who chose to merge at an appropriate time.
It is my observation that many of these jerk drivers are also talking on cell phones, eating or drinking something, texting, or just generally look like someone who would sneeze in your face and not care.
I have drawn the accompanying diagram to help explain this problem. Pay particular attention to the mega jerk driver who chose to push the abused driver almost into the furthest right lane. This behavior is clearly unacceptable.
So please, be a good driver and merge correctly.
Carlee’s New Header
Carlee and I just spent the better part of the evening designing a new header for her blog Choopes.com. We must have gone through thirty, not joking, color schemes until she finally settle on this for a while. Thoughts?
