I was actually trying to understand if this was a design flaw in the freeway, or if you guys just can't drive. Given that you're from Zanesville, the latter was a definite possibility :biggrin:.
Also, if you've lived there most of your life, and the ramp is so dangerous, why do you get on it every day? There's a ramp less than a mile away, isn't there?

From where our parents live, the Underwood one is much easier to access.

The other ramp is on a sort of service road and you have to go out of your way to get on it.

Bull-headed jerk? Should I be offended, or are you complimenting me? I mean, I'm not Mili, so there's no need to be afraid...you don't need to beat around the bush, just tell me straight out...:lol:

Oh, and I did read what you wrote. And then I said there was no way there was a 40 foot entrance ramp. I was right. And I still am. Just because you were talking about the alleged "merge area" (which i probably still longer than 40 feet) doesn't make my statement incorrect. Face it, you just drive like a pussy, and you're scared to merge. Even when there are clear signs telling all through traffic to stay to the left...

people who block 2 lanes of eastbound traffic because they want to make a left into the westbound lanes. god knows it would be sooooo much of a hassle for them to make 3 quick rights all of which have stop lights making doing so exceedingly safe and easy. but no, it is in fact your road and you are in fact the only person on the planet in a hurry.

Driving into work this morning, on 270 between 161 and 670, in the lane second from the right, where the "Right Lane Ends ... 1/4 mile" sign resides, a little black sedan and I blocked off a whole mess of people trying to zip ahead and cut in line. It was beautiful.

I might have gone too far doing this, but it was great. I'm driving eastbound on 11th ave before when it was one way. Well of course the left lane had to turn left onto Grant ave. People always flew down the left lane after 4th st just to plow into the right lane ahead. Well a lady was in a hurry behind me and sped into the left lane. To preface, it was really wet out and the road was slick. I sped up so she couldn't pass me and was tailing the guy in front. then, I slowed down just to give her enough room to get in. Then I laid on the horn as she got in front of me. This caused her to look into her rear-view mirror and not see the red light ahead. She ended up rear-ending the car in front of me at the light and there was a cop sitting on Grant who saw the whole thing. I felt like I took care of one bad driver that day :biggrin:

so, what you're saying is that you have far less of an issue creating a situation that could result in great physical harm to another person than with someone who speeds and passes traffic. buddy, i think that you have to rethink your priorities here. not letting her merge is one thing. providing a spot and letting her merge and then honking in hopes of rattling her is quite another.

granted, she's probably a bad driver, and she needs to learn not to drive like that. however, would you feel such glee if she had badly hurt herself?

What really pisses me off is drivers who go too slow when I'm in a hurry, then, when I try to pass their sorry asses, they speed up. This one time, over on 11th Avenue, just before it becomes a one way street, this jackass in a lavender Mazda Miata with a rainbow bumper sticker wouldn't go fast enough, so I swerve around to pass him. The bozo refuses to let me back over. He finally let's me back over, but then he blasts his horn at me, causing me to look in my rearview mirror and, as a result, not see the car ahead of me stop. I rear-ended the guy ahead of me and the joker in the purple car just sat there laughing at me. To make it worse, there was a cop there that saw the whole thing! It's okay, though. I got the Miata's license plate number. I'm going to track the driver down and cut his testicles off. :pissed:
