Bavarian is on a distinguished road
Oh there are plenty of sick people out there. You gotta look out at all times. Yesterday I was driving the ML on the highway, and basically I was coming down from the 400 onto the 401.

The 400 is a 3-lane north-south highway. It's the main one in the area. The 401 is 6-lane east-west highway, that goes from Detroit, through Toronto, to Montreal.

Anyway, there's an offramp from the 400 to the 401, and it's 2 lanes side by side. I'm in the left, and further down they're doing contruction so the right lane of the offramp if merging into the left.

We're doing about 40km/h because of lovely traffic and volume. As I near the merging point where all "last minute" people merge, I see the Pontiac Aztek beside me suddenly floor it to try to merge in front of me. I had already let this Civic merge in front, and it's physically impossible for the Aztek to actually fit between me and the pylons in front. I hit my brakes, and slam on my horn.

The guy in the Aztek then puts down his window and said something along the lines of "Oh that's right, YOU go ahead! Asshole!".

LOL I'm just laughing to this, cuz he's clearly wacko. Anyway, I let him go in front, cuz I don't want that wacko to rear end me as a thank you.
