Share the road

I've driven on every street in town. I have lived here all my life and traffic gets congested all the time. For those that pull half way out in traffic, try using the center lane. Don't challenge other cars to brake. Let people out. No one is going to lose sleep, we only have so much road. No one needs to have road rage. No one is going to get there any faster by driving fast or by being a discourteous driver.

I see people trying to get out of places all over town and people won't let them out and are blowing their horn at the drivers that are trying to get on their way. Just let them out don't drive on their bumper and try to get along.

My point is, I pull into the middle lane and usually someone lets me get into flowing traffic. It's not worth a life to be so mean to other drivers.
