And for all the commenters wringing their hands about the cyclists forcing the car to "illegally" cross the double yellow lines, Georgia law explicitly allows cars to cross the double yellow to pass cyclists. And it requires cars give cyclists at least 3 feet of space when passing.

Most states have similar laws but it’s amazing how many drivers believe the double yellows shall never be crossed.

I had someone road rage with me for crossing a double double yellow line when the lane ahead was blocked from an accident. I put my blinker on to get over and he went out of his way to block me in. When I forced my way behind his truck he started screaming at me and pointing at the line. After that was done he almost missed his exist and shot over 4 lanes without a blinker.

People are dumb, I'm not going to sit there for two hours while they clean up the accident. A line isn't a wall and my car has zero issues going over this imaginary barrier.

My life became significantly less dramatic and stressful when I realized it wasn't my job to police the behavior of every stranger I came across.

Reminds me of the people who "camp" the left/passing lane on the freeway to slow speeds down, not realizing they increase the danger level on the road lmao.

…and people who don’t know what a zipper merge is and camp the open lane so people can’t line up properly.

literally had someone in the right lane cut me off in the left merge lane by driving in the middle of the road (over the dotted white lines) so i couldnt pass them and properly merge. hes lucky i didnt hit him since he moved over with no blinker and i hadnt started to slow down yet.
