Merge…A simple concept? Apparently not!

Everyone when learning to drive learns the concept of merging from the beginning of your driving lessons or for you Americans, in Driver’s Ed.

The traffic symbol is very clear when you are supposed to merge.  Merge means you have to slow down, indicate and make your way into the main flow of traffic. So why then is it that some people see this sign and their interpretation is totally different? To these drivers it means accelerate quickly, don’t put your indicator on (someone may actually figure out what you are doing) and push your way in to the smallest gap available! Once in the queue you now flick the V’s or the finger to your fellow drivers who are obeying the traffic laws.  What are they like!!
